Rhinos

Meet and film Baraka the Black Rhino:
Baraka was one of the first rhinos born on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. With a low chance of survival on his own, Baraka was moved from the wild to a 100 acre enclosure in order to ensure his safety on your filming trip to this conservancy you will have an opportunity to film Baraka as well.
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzees
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary was established with an agreement between the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Jane Goodall Institute. The aim is to provide lifelong refuge to orphaned and abused chimpanzees from West and Central Africa. Over the last decade, Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary has been compelled to keep accepting chimpanzees rescued from traumatic situations bringing the total number of chimpanzees in the Sanctuary to 36. Many are confiscated from cramped and unnatural living conditions, and many arrive with horrific injuries sustained from abuse at the hands of humans. Here at Sweetwaters, they get a chance to start over.
