News Update

The Bongo Repatriation to Mount Kenya project celebrates the births of the first two 'second generation' Kenya-born bongos.



D. Bunge, Wildlife Manager, Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy:

Enter the Green Door

As a young Kenyan boy growing up on the slopes of Mount Elgon National park, I wanted to work with wildlife.

As a university student at Moi University studying Wildlife Management, I looked forward to a career in Wildlife Conservation.

For me, the Mountain Bongo Repatriation and the other Conservancy Projects are a dream come true.


Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Objectives
The Current objectives are:
  1. Breeding Mountain Bongo for return to Mount Kenya.
  2. Returning White Zebras to The Lerogi Plateau.
  3. Rearing and returning wild orphans to their natural habitat.
Here is how you can help:

The immediate needs of the conservancy are funds to continue these projects. Help us achieve this goals.

  • Adopt a share in all the animals presently cared for at the Conservancy for eventual release back into their natural habitats.
    • Bongo antelope with children
  • $50 per year will make you a god parent of an escalating number of animals returned to their natural habitats
  • Become a member of the Conservancy for as little as $ 30 per year
  • Visit us at the conservancy! For your $ 500 donation (per couple) a Senior member of our staff will give you a personal tour around the conservancy and explain the operations, and meet the animals in the breeding programs.
