A Second Chance for Wildlife in Need
Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre
Orphaned, injured and confiscated animals arrive at our centre year round. Our field veterinary unit stabilises, treats and rehabilitates each one, with the goal, wherever possible, of release back to the wild. What we learn from every recovery sharpens our care for the region's most endangered species.

Bongo Breeding and Rewilding
Bongo Breeding and Rewilding Programme
Fewer than eighty Mountain Bongo survive in the wild in Kenya. Our breeding programme maintains a genetically healthy managed herd and prepares them, generation by generation, to return to the highland forests of Mount Kenya. Alongside breeding, we restore the forest itself, planting indigenous trees on land affected by fire, climate change and illegal logging. It is the heart of everything we do, and Kenya's best hope for saving its most iconic forest antelope.

Rhinos Return to the Mountain
Rhino Programme
Only around seventeen thousand Southern White Rhinos remain in Africa, making their protection a national priority. As part of Kenya's Rhino Range Expansion Initiative, Kenya Wildlife Service sent six Southern White Rhinos to Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy in 2025. It is a new flagship programme alongside our long standing work with the Mountain Bongo and orphaned elephant calves, and a homecoming for a species absent from the mountain for more than ten years.
