| Rally4Rhinos |
| High speeds, long distances, poor roads, fickle weather, river crossings, large animals, high altitude, dust and mud – all in a car built before 1978. The East African Safari Classic is renowned among the continent’s motorsport enthusiasts as being one of the toughest events in the racing calendar. But driver Nish Lakhani and navigator Teeku Patel are no strangers to endurance races, and have entered this year’s Classic Rally to raise money for rhino conservation in Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The 2015 route will see 57 vehicles, including Fords, Porsches and Datsuns, clock up 3,800 kilometres in ten days.

| Meet Sudan and Camilla
Artist Camilla Le May is on Ol Pejeta sculpting Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, from life. She will be here until early November, so why not combine your trip to the northern white rhino enclosure with meeting Camilla, where you can see the work in progress and hear more about the project. The sculpture will be auctioned off in November to raise funds for Ol Pejeta rhinos.

| Orphan black rhino Hope dies |
| It is with immense sadness that we write to inform you of the death of Hope, an Ol Pejeta orphan who was being hand reared on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Hope’s mother Upendo was killed by poachers back in March 2013, and both her horns were taken. Hope joined two other orphans on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, where the experienced keepers raised him with the aim that he would one day be released back into Ol Pejeta. Photo by Érico Hiller
