Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Founded in 1995, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) spans 62,000 acres and serves as a catalyst for conservation across northern Kenya. Lewa holds 12% of Kenya’s black rhino population and the largest single population of Grevy’s zebras in the world.

Through the protection and management of endangered species, the initiation and support of community conservation and development programmes, and the education of neighbouring areas in the value of wildlife, Lewa has become Kenya's leading model for wildlife conservation on private land, leading destination for low-impact conservation tourism, and leading catalyst for conservation, and its direct benefits for communities, across the region. The Conservancy is also home to the Northern Rangelands Trust, an innovative partnership with a number of communities to the North who put land aside for wildlife conservation.
