Kenya Wildlife Service successfully completed the translocation of three young Rothschild giraffes from Soysambu Conservancy, Naivasha, to the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi.
Aged between 2–3 years, the giraffes were relocated to strengthen genetic diversity, prevent inbreeding, and secure the long-term sustainability of the Nubian giraffe population through continued breeding.
This milestone conservation effort, implemented through strong collaboration between Kenya Wildlife Service, the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife - Giraffe Centre , and Soysambu Conservancy, emphasizes the power of partnerships in safeguarding biodiversity, supporting conservation-based tourism, and strengthening Kenya’s wildlife economy—today and for generations to come.
