Rhino Sanctuary

From the Conservancy 22,000 acres were set aside to create Mugie Rhino Sanctuary. The sanctuary has electrified fencing making it a secure home for the rhino with gaps to allow other wildlife to move in and out.

In 2002 the first two rhinos to arrive on Mugie were Boyo and Victoria. The white rhino now have their own private sanctuary to avoid conflict with the black rhino.

In 2004, 20 black rhino were translocated from Nairobi National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and Solio to Mugie. By 2009 the population has grown to a total of 24 after 11 births and seven deaths.

Being a criticaly endangered species, the rhinos have to be accounted for daily which includes monitoring and recording their GPS position and assessing their physical condition.
