Last month, Vipingo Ridge became home to four new species of animals-impala, eland, oryx and water buck -as part of the project to create a wildlife sanctuary on its 2, 500-acre estate.

Ten years after the project was first conceived, and in conjunction with Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS), and Lafarge, the introduction of wildlife has begun in phases with more impala, zebra and giraffe being relocated to the site from similar climatic areas in the coming weeks. The vision for the sanctuary is a sustainable and thriving ecosystem with Kenya’s wild herbivores roaming free and adding to the spectacular experience on the ridge.
