Rimoi Reserve is also home to other unique wildlife that
includes the world’s rare white crocodile at the campsite along Kerio River. The
crocodile witnessed a decline in population due to interference in the habitat
by human activity.
The reserve has been established
by wildlife scientists as a breeding ground for elephants that trout to the
sanctuary from neighboring Turkana and Samburu counties. The Elephants found in
Rimoi graze mainly at night and shelter under riverine bushes because of the sweltering
heat in Kerio Valley. A visitor to the reserve should look out for the
elephants in these bushes along the rivers, or at night when they roam freely in the reserve. However,
one must be cautious as any slightest provocation sparks ire from these wild
animals.
The County Government of Elgeyo Marakwet and Kenya Wildlife Service
have moved in to rehabilitate the reserve and restocked with buffalos, giraffes,
water bucks, zebras, gazelles and impalas. Rangers and a warden to increase
security surveillance and the infrastructural development completed. The
Reserve has been fence to ward off poachers and also reduce human wildlife conflict.
