HWEC
The Hirola Wildlife Education Centre, located in North Eastern Kenya, is an inaugural conservation education centre in the North-Eastern region of Kenya. The centre is dedicated to creating awareness on the plight of the critically endangered Hirola antelope and other unique species like the Somali giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, and Beisa Oryx.
The centre hosts 700 school children who are taken through our conservation education curriculum that is tailored to enrich their comprehension of the plight of our native wildlife species, with a special emphasis on our region’s flagship species, the Hirola antelope and the Somali giraffe. The students not only benefit from the educational sessions but also enjoy a range of recreational activities, such as observing giraffes in their natural habitat and participating in guided nature walks through the nature trails on our camp. By providing an immersive and educational experience, we aim to empower the next generation with the knowledge and passion needed to become conservation champions.
