Meet Chimpanzees at Sweetwaters Sanctuary

Kenya
#Animal Conservation #Laikipia County

Step onto the small Ol Pejeta island that’s home to 40 orphaned and rescued chimpanzees. Hear their chatter and watch their play at close quarters.

Our ancestral cousins are not native to Kenya. It makes Sweetwaters Sanctuary a unique opportunity to encounter these apes at a site aiming to replicate their natural homes.

The Lewa Wildlife and Borana Conservancies' security teams practice using tracker dogs to find a poacher in Borana, Kenya. With poaching gangs now using sophisticated techniques to hunt down rhinos, the two teams have to equally make use of sophisticated equipment and technology to protect their rhino populations - both have a combined black rhino population of 87. Additionally, Lewa is home to 64 white rhinos. This total population constitutes 15% of Kenya's entire rhino population. Some of the equipment the teams use include night vision goggles and thermal imagery. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is the pioneer private rhino sanctuary in East Africa, established in 1983 to protect the last of Kenya's black rhinos whose population had plummeted to near extinction. Borana Conservancy, originally a commercial cattle ranch moved towards wildlife conservation in 1993 with the completion of one of Kenya’s first eco-lodges. In late September this year, the two conservancies removed the fence separating them to establish the largest rhino sanctuary in Kenya, and possibly East Africa, in order to create more room for black rhinos to breed. Despite recording general success in increase of the rhino population in Kenya since the devastating years of the 70s and 80s, the rise in demand for the rhino horn in the Far East in recent years has put immense pressure on the country's rhino numbers, and conservationists such as Lewa and Borana have to work twice as hard to protect their vulnerable populations.
