Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Welcome to the breathtaking expanse of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a conservation haven nestled beneath the shadow of Mount Kenya. Renowned for its commitment to wildlife preservation, Lewa unfolds a tapestry of diverse flora and fauna, offering a unique safari experience in the heart of Kenya.

Lewa's landscapes are a harmonious blend of open savannahs, acacia woodlands, and lush riverine habitats. Iconic acacia trees provide shade for the diverse vegetation, which includes grasses, shrubs, and unique plant species adapted to the varying altitudes. The conservancy's commitment to sustainable land management ensures the preservation of its pristine ecosystems.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a sanctuary for an incredible array of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five. Elephants roam freely, and the conservancy hosts one of the largest populations of critically endangered black rhinos in East Africa. White rhinos, lions, leopards, and buffalos complete the Big Five ensemble.

Lewa is renowned for its successful conservation efforts, including the protection of the Grevy's zebra and the reticulated giraffe. The conservancy is also a birder's paradise, with over 400 bird species, including raptors, waterfowl, and vibrant songbirds.

Best Time to Visit:

The best time to visit Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is during the dry seasons from June to September and January to February. During these months, the landscapes are drier, making wildlife more concentrated around water sources. The clear skies enhance visibility, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife sightings.

For those interested in migratory birds, the wetter months from October to December and March to May bring a burst of avian activity to Lewa. The landscapes are lush during these periods, creating a different but equally captivating backdrop for wildlife enthusiasts.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy invites conservation-conscious travelers to witness the success of community-based wildlife preservation and sustainable land management. Whether you're captivated by the rhinos, the majestic elephants, or the vibrant birdlife, Lewa promises an unforgettable safari experience that intertwines the beauty of nature with the commitment to protecting Kenya's precious wildlife.
