Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

This year’s theme for #WorldBiodiversityDay, “Acting Locally for Global Impact”, places responsibility where it belongs, not at a summit, not in a policy document, but here, on the ground, in our hands. What local action are you taking for biodiversity in 2026? 📸 @MartinBuzora

Ruby is one of the warmest dogs you could meet, and her service speaks for itself. She has located a missing child, found a lost elder in Ngare Ndare Forest, and supported anti-poaching and crime prevention operations across our entire landscape. A true four-legged hero!

The eight-year-old was trained in South Africa at Tracking & Conservation Ltd and has been an invaluable member of our conservation and security efforts since joining us through the generosity of a donor.

Today, we pay tribute to Ruby, our beloved bloodhound, as she approaches a well-earned retirement after years of dedicated service as a member of our anti-poaching team. Thread:

The @LewaSafMarathon is more than a race, it represents a powerful conservation story.​ ​For over 30 years, @LewaConservancy has helped protect wildlife, restore landscapes, support schools, expand healthcare access, empower women, and strengthen community livelihoods.​ ​#LewaMarathon #RunLewa

This is what impact looks like.​ This is what every step stands for.​ ​#LewaMarathon #RunLewa

@DanielleW1212G Amazing! We are glad you had a good time.

@LewaConservancy Vancouver, Canada. We visited Lewa four years ago and loved it!

The excitement is palpable as we prepare to mark #WorldMigratoryBirdDay tommorrow. Where are you following us from?

@mathukimani2 Correct

Every year, migratory birds pull off one of nature’s greatest feats, and today, #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, we’re celebrating them with a challenge just for you. Look closely at the photos. What bird is this? Drop your guess and tag a fellow bird lover and see if they know.

@Kelemet_9 Good try, but they do this to get rid of parasites.

@LewaConservancy Camouflaging

Nothing quite prepares you for it. Zebras suddenly dropping and rolling in the dust. There’s a reason behind this behaviour. Can you guess what it is? 📸Lewa House #Wildlife #Quiz #Lewa

Kenya shone on #GlobalBigDay, topping Africa and ranking 7th globally. Lewa was among the species leaders in Kenya, recording 245 bird species across our conservancy. From spurfowls to sunbirds, raptors to rollers, which local bird species did you enjoy spotting most?

Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay, and we are honoured to be a sanctuary for some of the world’s most vulnerable and iconic species. 📸 James Muriiki & Martin Buzora #Endangered #Conservation #Wildlife

Nearly 40 years ago, Anna Merz began selflessly caring for vulnerable rhinos on Lewa. From those humble beginnings grew the Lewa-Borana landscape that now protects 291 rhinos. Help us ensure this legacy endures for generations to come. lewa.org/lewa-legacy/

Some places just hit different. 🌍 Lewa isn’t just a bucket-list destination. It’s a reminder of what this planet is actually capable of being. 📸@LewaWilderness #Travel #Desination #Kenya

To the nurturers, the protectors, and the everyday heroes: Happy Mother’s Day. 📸 Martin Buzora #MothersDay #Lewa #Mum

Another reason to be proud to be Kenyan 🇰🇪 Did you know Kenya, Tanzania, & Zambia are the only places on Earth where you'll find the pancake tortoise? 🐢 Even better: Kenya is the first to launch a comprehensive plan to protect this species. Learn More: bit.ly/4lM19ZT

Edward Ndiritu recently finished the London Marathon in 10 kg of rhino gear. As Lewa’s head of anti-poaching, he has helped keep rhinos safe with zero poaching since 2019. Join us in supporting this work: 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/edward-ndir… #RunForRhinos
