Annual Conservation Reports
Ol Jogi produces yearly conservation reports on a broad range of subjects varying from our latest innovative conservation initiatives to our endeavors in helping local communities.
2025 Report
In 2025, we celebrated the fruits of our dedication to long-term conservation at Ol Jogi. The improved rainfall brought back the lush forage, water, and balance, allowing wildlife to flourish. This recovery demonstrated that conservation benefits build over time, are interconnected, and are achieved through consistent effort. This report captures a year marked by resilience, teamwork, and shared responsibility for the land and creatures we protect. As Wangari Maathai said, "We are called to assist the Earth, to heal her wounds, and in the process heal our own."
2024 Report
With the rains came renewal, bringing life and abundance back to Ol Jogi. Having faced an extended period of drought, 2024 saw the landscape transformed – reminding us of the delicate and interconnected nature of our surroundings. From the smallest insect to the big five that roam the conservancy, this year our efforts have shown us how every element enables another to exist. With 2024 being a period of prosperity, we remember all those who have generously supported Ol Jogi. As the proverb reminds us, we all enable one another to exist.
2023 Report
As always with nature, everything is in constant evolution - 2023 was certainly a year of change. From January, we faced difficulties: the land and wildlife were withering after several years of scarce rains. The soil was parched, the vegetation dry, and the animals were struggling. Despite these difficult survival conditions, we were able to maintain a healthy growth of our rhino population, and welcome a new baby rhino orphan. Carnivores thrived and herbivores struggled, presenting us with a share of new conservation challenges.
2022 Report
The original meaning of the words “Ol Jogi” has become lost in time, possibly the name for a type of thorn in an old, now disused Samburu dialect. The meaning of those words today, however, has no ambiguity. We are the land, the conservancy and the community. We continue in striving to fulfil our mission, of being a leading model for private conservation, with relentless efforts to pioneer new methods and techniques enabling us to protect wildlife and assist local communities.
2021 Report
2021 was a severely dry year for the entire East African region: we were deprived of the rains for a good part of the year. The drought did not spare us and affected our wildlife and communities around us. Once again, we cannot express with enough gratitude our thanks for the support and help we received from our friends and partners to overcome these new challenges.
2020 Report
Like for everyone around the world, the past months at Ol Jogi have been full of challenges. Fortunately however, there was nothing like pure wilderness and fresh air to keep a world pandemic at bay

2018 has been a year of renewed hope for our Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy. With elections behind us, it was the perfect year for building afresh, starting from the very top with our new management team: a new General Manager, a new Finance and HR Manager and a new Security Manager.
2018 Report
2017 was a year of challenging events for Kenya as a whole given presidential election, late rains, and conflict in the north of Laikipia. These events often discourage visitors to Kenya, which is the ultimate strain for wildlife, as it relies on tourism to support its existence.
