DISCOVER THE JOURNEY
The Eastern Black Rhino stands on the brink of extinction – a little over 1,000 remain across Africa. These extraordinary creatures are not just a powerful link to an ancient world; they are keystone species, vital to the health and balance of entire ecosystems.
Rise for Rhinos is a purpose-led expedition to the summit of Mount Kenya – Africa’s second-highest peak – to raise awareness and critical funds for the recovery of this remarkable species. This is a call to the wild and a journey to act, in solidarity, for nature.

WHAT TO EXPECT
After a night in Nairobi to catch our breath, we will take a small plane to the foothills of Mount Kenya to meet our experienced expedition leader. Over the next five days we will ascend the mountain, walking through contrasting microclimates with over 130 bird species and spectacular plantlife, each evening recouping with a hot meal and stories around the fire.
At the summit – the hike takes us to Point Lenana at 5,188 metres – we will celebrate this phenomenal achievement together! The following days are a chance to rest, recharge and be still amid Kenya’s spectacular wildlife at Segera Retreat. You will go on to experience a sanctuary in southern Kenya, home of the last super tusker elephants.
CONSERVATION IMPACT
The Kenya Rhino Expansion Plan (KRRE) is a national recovery effort with a vision to increase rhino numbers to over 2,000 by 2037. As one of the most central conservancies in Kenya, Segera Conservancy has a vital role in the national Kenya Rhino Expansion Plan (KRRE), as it makes up one of the last connected areas of biodiversity and important migratory corridors for wildlife.
Segera Rhino Sanctuary will become a vital gateway to a large-scale initiative to create an interconnected area of private and community conservancies to become one of the largest rhino sanctuaries in the world. It costs $25,000 per year to manage and protect each rhino.
