Location Kenya Subject Distribution Species Black Rhino (bicornis) Year 1997

The reserve was created in 1982 and stocked with 1 male and 2 female black rhino. This was before the government declared that all black rhino were property of Kenya, and the three were purchased by Ol Jogi from an animal dealer. Breeding has been very succesful. With the addition of a cow from Solio ranch the population now numbers 14. So far 6 animals have been transferred out to increase the herds of Tsavo Np and Lewa Conservancy.
