Kenya has received 17 endangered Mountain Bongos from the United States, marking an important step in conservation.

The antelopes arrived in Nairobi on February 23, 2025, via a chartered cargo plane.

Tourism and Wildlife CS Rebecca Miano confirmed their safe arrival and noted they are adapting well, though they experienced jet lag.

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is monitoring them closely as they settle into their new habitat.

The Mountain Bongo, known for its distinctive chestnut-red coat and spiraled horns, faces severe threats from habitat loss, poaching, and genetic isolation.

With fewer than 100 left in Kenya, conservation efforts like this relocation are crucial.

These 17 antelopes were part of a breeding program in the United States aimed at preserving genetic diversity.

Their return contributes to ongoing efforts to restore and protect this rare species in Kenya’s forests.

Currently housed in a secure sanctuary, they are under observation to ensure a smooth transition.

Conservationists expect their disrupted feeding and rest patterns to normalize in a few days.
