Meeting the Northern white rhinos
Before I travelled to the conservancy of Ol Pejeta in Central Kenya, I had no idea that there are only seven Northern white rhinos left in the world.
I was extremely privileged to meet 4 of them. Najin, Fatu, Sudan and Suni were moved to Kenya in , from Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic.
They were not mistreated at the zoo in fact the Czech facility is the only one in the world to have bred northern white rhinoceroses in captivity.
But Scientists behind the relocation operation, which has been called “Last Chance to Survive” , hope conditions in Kenya will help the two males and two females to mate more frequently.
A sample of the faeces from the females is sent every few days to a laboratory in Austria to see whether she is pregnant. But so far they haven’t managed to reproduce.
Getting close, one of the male Rhinos Sudan, who is 38 years old, was incredible. He was perhaps a little too curious about our cameraman Chris Matlock, getting very close to him, and at one point almost stepping and crushing our go pro camera.

The ranger, who has been with him since , kept tempting him away from us with local grass.
Poaching
Unfortunately, these rhinos need hour protection, from poachers who are willing to risk thei

The madness began almost a year ago when I signed up for the first ForRangers Ultra. The return to reality begins now.
The day before
Tuesday 31 July, World Ranger Day
Up at , for a disappointingly tiny breakfast at Wildebeest Eco Camp in Langata, Nairobi. Kenneth and I eye up the other runners, 44 of them. A few we know already: Oli Tovey and Bryan Hemmings, long-time mates who have agreed to share the burden of wearing one of our rhino costumes; Speedy (best marathon time is under 2 hours 40) Dave Mohring; Liz Winton, who’s run three marathons for Save the Rhino, the most recent in rhino costume; her running partner Enda Brady, the Sky Sports reporter who’s only just back from Russia (the FIFA World Cup) and France (cycling’s Tour de France); and Rohan Muir, a delightful bloke we met in a pub two months ago. All 44 are intimidatingly sinewy and muscular.
Intimidation levels drop when our mini-fleet of mini-busses stops at a curio-shop-cum-snack-bar and the elite athletes descend, hoovering up chocolate, crisps and fizzy drinks. We pause at a large sign for a series of selfies with the Equator. And we are further cheered when, at the next stop, these hard men and women pile into KFC’s finest. Their bodies are clearly some sort of temple, but not representing any relig
