"I didn't go on this visit, since my foot was bothering me and my walking was limited.

The reaction from my companions was quite positive, though." Read more about this whole safari

"Since I was worried this would be a similar experience to the Giraffe center and the Elephant Sanctuary I opted out of this event--and regret it as my group loved it!" Read more about this whole safari

"I’d long anticipated “meeting” the remaining two northern white rhinos. I expected it to be quite sobering, and it was. But to meet Zacharia (long-time keeper of the rhinos) and hear how they are managing the artificial insemination process was a beacon of hope.

Coincidentally I was there just as Ol Pejeta announced its success in implanting a southern white rhino embryo into a surrogate, so hopefully that success will continue with the northern whites.

The visit is very informative and presented. I felt like a VIP getting to drive into the enclosure with the girls.

I really enjoyed my visit and consider myself lucky to have gotten to do it." Read more about this whole safari

"We enjoyed visiting the Northern White Rhino Sanctuary very much.

We learned a lot about the efforts to save an almost-extinct species, and a vehicle will take you very close to the only two remaining Northern White rhinos in the world. It's a fascinating tour.

The manager Zachary's passion and dedication is inspiring." Read more about this whole safari

"An amazing and special experience, whilst also being very poignant that they are the very last two left of their species in the whole world.

It was great to learn more about these special animals from on one of the rangers, as well as learning about their high-tech plans to try and keep the species going in the future. To be able to feed and touch them was great as well.

And to also visit Baraka their blind rhino and feed him some browse was very special.

Definitely an experience worth doing if you are visiting or staying in Ol Pejeta." Read more about this whole safari

"A very informative visit and up-close experience with the two remaining Northern White Rhinos in existence.

We learned about the international effort being undertaken to try and keep the species alive using in vitro fertilization. Our guide for the tour was Zachariah and he was very enthusiastic and informative.

At the end of the tour we were able to hand feed a black rhino that has become blind due to injury and age. It was a moving visit." Read more about this whole safari
