Rhino Love in the Air

The arrival of 21 black rhinos in Loisaba Conservancy brings hope for a permanent thriving population for future generations

Thanks to a partnership between Loisaba Conservancy, Kenya Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, Space for Giants and the Elewana Collection, 21 rhinos have now safely arrived in Loisaba Conservancy.

Over the month of January, the carefully planned translocation programme saw rhinos moved from Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lewa Downs and Nairobi National Park, where they have become overpopulated. Black rhinos are solitary animals and without enough room to disperse, they will not effectively breed. With some of Kenya’s existing 16 sanctuaries nearing maximum capacity, there is an urgent need to create new ones offering ideal conditions including the right habitat, effective security, and strong support from neighbouring communities.

The operation is the result of a remarkable turnaround for the rhino population in Kenya, which raised numbers in the country from 240 in 1984 to around 940 today. Kenya’s success, thanks to heightened security and efforts to bring poachers to justice, means it now hosts the third-largest rhino population in Africa, after South Africa and Namibia.

Guests on any of our Kenya SkySafari experiences will have the massive opportunity to search for these black rhino and view them in the wild during their stay at Loisaba Conservancy.
