Giving back

Lewa Wilderness is renowned for its extensive conservation efforts within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. One notable project is its commitment to protecting endangered species, including rhinos and Grevy’s zebras. Through anti-poaching patrols and innovative monitoring techniques, the conservancy has seen significant success in rhino conservation, with the population increasing steadily over the years. Additionally, Lewa Wilderness engages in habitat restoration initiatives, such as reforestation and water management, to maintain biodiversity and mitigate human-wildlife conflict. The conservancy also prioritizes community development, providing education, healthcare, and livelihood support to local communities, fostering a sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife. Staying here supports all their efforts.
