Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary is a private conservation area located near Lake Naivasha in Kenya’s Rift Valley. Covering about 18,000 acres, the sanctuary was established to protect endangered species, conserve habitats, and promote harmony between wildlife and people. It provides a secure environment for a wide range of animals, including giraffes, zebras, buffalos, hippos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and over 400 bird species, making it an important birding destination. Oserengoni is also home to some rare and endangered species such as the Grevy’s zebra and the patas monkey.

Beyond wildlife, the sanctuary integrates sustainable land use with surrounding farms and communities, showing how conservation and agriculture can work together. It offers visitors a private safari experience with guided game drives, walking safaris, and birdwatching in a serene, uncrowded environment. The sanctuary is also closely linked with Chui Lodge and Kiangazi House, two luxury eco-lodges that provide comfortable stays while supporting conservation and community projects.

By combining wildlife protection, eco-tourism, and community development, Oserengoni Wildlife Sanctuary has become a model of private conservation in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
