Lewa Conservancy
Home to 10% of Kenya’s rhino, and 20% of the worlds population of Grevy zebra
Home » Destinations » Kenya »
Lewa, a private conservancy that was once a cattle ranch, is now a shining example of exceptional wildlife conservation, with efforts to restore healthy populations of the endangered black rhino and Grevy’s Zebra. In fact, its 62,000 acres now house over 12% of Kenya’s black rhino, 14% of the country’s white rhino, and the world’s largest single population of Grevy’s zebra, as well as the rest of the ‘Big Five,’ the rare reticulated giraffe, and much more.
The conservancy is a non-profit organization that also works closely with its local Maasai communities to provide a sustainable safari experience that includes genuine cultural encounters and a united front for conservation. There is a palpable sense of dedication in the air here.
Best time to visit:
The months of February to March and July to October are ideal for visiting Lewa. Long rains fall in April and May, and while short rains fall in November and December, it is still warm enough that they will not interfere with your visit.
Things to do at the park:
1. Game drives
2. Guided bush walks
3. Camel safaris
4. Horseback riding
