Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has decided to place the cubs within the Animal Orphanage at MKWC, where they have already started to benefit from the expert care of a dedicated team of animal keepers and wildlife veterinarians.
Those staying at the Mount Kenya Safari Club hotel, visitors of the Animal Orphanage, and well-wishers from around the world may donate to support the well-being of the cubs, by contributing to their veterinary care, dietary requirements and shelter maintenance.
The historic Kenyan estate of Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, which was once known as the former hunting lodge of Hollywood figure William Holden, is part of the conservation story and is a unique hotel within the Conservancy which is deeply rooted in the efforts of wildlife protection and preservation.
Guests to the luxury property pay a conservation fee that goes towards supporting the protection and preservation of the ecosystem and wildlife on the slopes of Mount Kenya, in particular, a breeding and rewilding programme for the critically endangered Mountain Bongo.
Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy is making everyday contributions to the work that is already being done by both the government and the private sector. The aim is to become a beacon of conservation and to restore, preserve, and protect the region’s natural habitats and wildlife.
The Animal Orphanage at MKWC takes care of orphaned, abandoned and injured animals with the aim of releasing them back into their natural habitat in the wild once they are back to optimal health and fully recovered whenever possible.
