Kenya has welcomed four rare and endangered Mountain Bongos at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on April 27, 2026, as part of a critical initiative to prevent their extinction.

• A total of four males, repatriated from the Czech Republic, have joined conservation efforts.
• Key figures present included Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano, with involvement from the Kenya Wildlife Service.
• These four bongos will reinforce a managed group of over 100 individuals at the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, aiming to boost breeding and rewilding programs for eventual reintroduction into the wild.
