The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has a long history of keeping and breeding okapi (Okapia johnstoni). Zoologists from ZSL were the first to officially discover the species in 1901, though they were well known to the native Congolese people before this time.
I have just done some research on the okapi kept at ZSL for those who are interested in their history at ZSL:
