Staff also hope that its resident animals can, following the implementation of a breeding program, eventually be reintroduced into the wild or other sanctuaries and conservation areas, Vipingo Ridge chairman Alastair Cavenaugh told CNN in 2022.

“With the way the population is expanding, human-wildlife conflict is only going to go one way and get worse,” Cavenaugh said.

“So I think there’s a lot of opportunity and scope for the government to partner developers and land owners who have land that they can commit to sanctuaries and conservation areas to create space for wildlife.”

Entertainment was also a highlight, with the sponsored entertainment village by EABL through the Johnnie Walker brand. Each day brought a jubilant atmosphere, with the vibrant grounds coming alive with food, music, and entertainment as the sunset. Capital FM’s top DJs took center stage in the evenings, courtesy of Johnnie Walker, providing an electrifying symphony that reverberated throughout the venue.

The festivities kicked off with the Cut Party on Friday, featuring renowned DJs Andy Capp and DJ Leo. Saturday saw DJ Schwaz and DJ Stretch taking over the decks, followed by DJ UV and DJ Adrian closing out the weekend on Sunday.

The event also attracted various high-end personalities, including the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba, Kilifi County Governor Gideon Mungaro and former Mombasa County Governor Hassan Joho.
