OL PEJETA
PROTECTING THE LAST RHINOS
At the heart of Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy shines as a beacon of hope—home to the world’s last two northern white rhinos, Najin and Fatu.
A leader in conservation, it also shelters East Africa’s largest population of black rhinos—113 lives protected, each one a rare and precious soul. By day and by night, armed guardians watch over Najin and Fatu, standing as silent sentinels for a species on the edge of time.
Nestled in the embrace of the thicket lies a silent graveyard—a tribute to the 16 rhinos lost to poachers since 2004. Their lives stolen for greed, their species pushed closer to the edge.

Where wildlife roams free and conservation thrives, Ol Pejeta weaves a tale of coexistence between nature and humanity.
In this hallowed ground, lies the final resting place of Sudan, The Last Male Northern White Rhino—an irreplaceable link in an evolutionary chain spanning millions of years.
An acacia tree stands guard, its branches cradling weaver nests—life continuing above the sorrow below. The weight of extinction hung heavy that day. These graves are not just markers, but a call to remember, to fight for what’s left.

We think of extinction as something buried in the past—
but it stands before us now, whispering through the silence,
etched in every fading footprint.
Many people think of extinction being this imaginary tale told by conservationists, but I have lived it, I know what it is.
