Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy stands as a beacon of conservation in Northern Kenya, characterized by a vast expanse of land that includes the pristine Ngare Ndare forest. Covering approximately 62,000 acres, this sanctuary serves as a vital refuge for a diverse array of wildlife, playing a crucial role in the preservation of Kenya’s natural heritage.

At the heart of the conservancy’s mission lies its commitment to protecting endangered species, including the iconic black rhinos, whose populations have faced significant threats in recent years. The conservancy’s rigorous conservation efforts have helped to safeguard these majestic creatures, ensuring their continued survival in the wild.

In addition to the black rhinos, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is also home to the critically endangered Grevy’s zebra, distinguished by its striking appearance and unique behavioral traits. These magnificent creatures roam freely across the savannah, their presence serving as a commitment to the conservancy’s dedication to preserving Kenya’s rich biodiversity.

Furthermore, the conservancy provides a sanctuary for the Sitatunga, a rare and elusive antelope species that inhabits the wetlands and marshes within its borders. Here, amid the lush vegetation and pristine landscapes, these graceful animals find refuge, their populations carefully monitored and protected by dedicated conservationists.
