Join Bumpy for his first dip of the day!
Flanked by Keepers Festus and Jackson, our little hippo hurried out of his stable and made a beeline for his personal pool. He briefly considered a nap between Jackson’s legs, thought the better of it, and dove right into the day, with a cute boop for good measure.
Bumpy is one of our newest arrivals. His mother died, likely in a territorial fight defending her baby’s life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service rescued him and brought him into our care.

Kaikai loves her little rituals, and the roadside dust bath cannot be missed. It has to be this very specific spot; no other stretch of road will do! She approaches at a sprint, then sits back and enjoys as Keepers David and Jonas spare no dusty detail.
Kaikai is here today because of supporters like you. Rescued as a newborn orphan, she will have a home with us until she is ready to reclaim her place in the wild — a process that may take upwards of a decade.
