The Meru Rhino Sanctuary upgrade!

Guests visiting Elewana Elsa’s Kopje Meru will be able to visit the new and improved Rhino Sanctuary.

The project, which was undertaken by David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), was funded entirely through donations from supporters and offers Kenya's rhinos a brighter future in a larger and more secure Sanctuary.

To celebrate the completion of the upgrade, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and KWS held a handover ceremony attended by Robert Carr-Hartley from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Principle Secretary of Tourism Dr. Margaret Mwakima, and KWS Mr. Julius Kimani along with senior management from Meru National Park. During the ceremony, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust also donated to KWS Meru National Park a fully customized land cruiser, to be used to further boost security within the Park!
