Rhino

Black rhino were re-introduced to Mugie in 2004 making them the world’s most northern black rhino population. The translocation of the black rhino to Mugie was part of a national effort to protect and enhance black rhino population in Kenya by moving rhinos from Nairobi National Park, Nakuru National Park and Solio Ranch to other protected areas to form viable breeding populations.

Mugie has always had an indigenous black rhino population but in 1980 the last rhino were removed at the height of the poaching which decimated the rhino and elephant populations throughout Africa.

Mugie has the perfect habitat for black rhino with all of their favourite trees, shrubs and plants. Due to the rarity of the rhino, close monitoring and security is needed. Everyday, rangers in the field check the body condition and the welfare of each rhino. In partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Mugie rhino monitoring team share a database of information which is crucial to understanding and protecting these amazing animals.

Mugie also introduced white rhino in 2002.;
