Dear Friend of Ol Pejeta:
Baby Grevy's
We just can’t get enough of endangered babies!
As our little abandoned rhino calf goes from strength to strength, another endangered baby has arrived in Ol Pejeta. Thankfully, there is no need for this one to be taken in to our care.

This adorable little Grevy’s zebra calf was born in the endangered species enclosure on Saturday 28th November. There are fewer than 2,500 Grevy’s zebra left in the wild, 90% of them are found in northern Kenya.

PEGAS rescues two chimpanzees from Liberia
In 2014, the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Ol Pejeta secured a three year grant from the Arcus Foundation to initiate the Project to End Great Ape Slavery (PEGAS). The PEGAS team was called to Liberia earlier this year, to help rescue two young chimpanzees from deplorable conditions. It is hoped they will come to Sweetwaters.
