In late August 2025, ten southern white rhinos were successfully translocated to Loisaba Conservancy from Meru National Park and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The rhinos have begun settling into their new environment across Loisaba’s 58,000 acres and guests of Elewana’s three camps in the conservancy now have a chance to see both black and white rhino roaming the Conservancy. While southern white rhinos are not native to Kenya, their introduction to Loisaba contributes to species conservation, genetic diversity, and research opportunities, while also supporting tourism and education efforts that benefit the wider ecosystem.

The rhinos were carefully selected in collaboration with Kenya Wildlife Service’s (KWS) veterinarians to ensure a healthy, well-balanced group, and their presence strengthens Kenya’s broader conservation initiatives.
