Visit the Rhino Sanctuary
Visit the Rhino Sanctuary
The rhino sanctuary near Naretoi in the northern Greater Maasai Mara offers our visitors a rare and meaningful wildlife experience rooted in conservation. Set within a quiet conservancy landscape, the sanctuary provides a protected home for white rhinos, one of Africa’s most iconic and threatened species, reintroduced to an area where they had once disappeared.

Rhino sanctuary visits
Carefully managed and closely monitored, the sanctuary allows guests to encounter rhinos in a natural environment while maintaining strict conservation standards. Game drives through the area may reveal these impressive animals alongside giraffe, zebra, antelope, and a rich variety of birdlife, all against the backdrop of rolling savannah and distant escarpments. Unlike busier parts of the Mara, the experience here is peaceful and intimate, emphasising respect for wildlife and habitat.
The sanctuary is a powerful example of community-based conservation. Local landowners play a central role in protecting the land and wildlife, benefiting through employment, training, and sustainable tourism revenue. By visiting, guests directly support these conservation and community initiatives.
A visit to the Naretoi rhino sanctuary offers more than exceptional wildlife viewing — it provides an opportunity to be part of a conservation success story while enjoying an authentic and responsible safari experience in the Greater Mara.
