Itineraries for 2020

Itineraries for 2020

It is with deep sadness that we announce that during the night of the 19th July 2016, our beloved Ringo, the abandoned southern white rhino calf, passed away. Ringo had been unwell for two weeks, and despite our very best efforts, he succumbed to his illness. His caregivers were by his side.

As we mourn the loss of a little rhino who had the odds stacked against him from day one, we also ask you all to join us in celebrating his life – recognising what a huge impact Ringo had on all who knew him.

When Ringo fell ill, our dedicated team of caregivers and vets ran tests, consulted specialists in South Africa and made him as comfortable as possible – monitoring him 24 hours a day. Unfortunately, raising wild-born rhinos in captivity is notoriously difficult. Inevitably, no matter how hard we try, humans can never replicate the environment that a rhino calf would be exposed to in the wild.

During his short life, Ringo inspired hundreds of people all over the world with his playful antics and irresistible charm. In simply being himself, he helped to raise awareness about the plight of rhinos in Africa. We would like to thank you for supporting Ringo, a very special rhino, and invite you to join us in carrying on his legacy.

Xmas party at Karura forest :)

The field staff of the partner agencies gathered for bitings at Amani Garden picnic site. Staff members received their Xmas bonuses, colourful plastic buckets and basins from Rajesh Shah, and splendid football uniforms from the lovely Molly Macaire who is spearheading the exciting EdClub Movement (http://www.edclubmovement.org) linking mentoring girls from Marlborough College in the UK to school kids in Huruma Village on the edge of Karura Forest. Senior staff from the agencies encouraged their staff to work as a team for the greater good of Karura and the citizens of Kenya.

A lovely morning walk in the forest.

Tusk force: saving the African elephant In Africa, elephants could be extinct in the wild by 2025 as a result of poaching, despite great strides in conservation. Ann Hartland meets the people at the vanguard of the fight back.
