Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Meet Lewa’s youngest employee. Brenda Ntinyari joined us from Subuiga Community near Lewa as an intern about two years ago and has grown into one of our most dedicated procurement clerks. Grounded, purposeful, and fully committed to this land. We could not be prouder.

In the Mucheene family at Lewa, genetics take centre stage. Their signature curved tusks are a hereditary trait passed down through generations, a living map of their ancestral legacy. 📸 James Muriiki #Elephants #Lewa #Kenya

Meet Red. His mane might stop you in your tracks, but don’t be fooled. With Mike and Tatu, he forms one of Lewa’s most formidable coalitions. Brothers fight, hunt, and protect together. In the wild, it is a long game, and this trio is winning. 🦁 📸 James Muriiki

If your day needed a little joy, here it is. A baby elephant fully committed to his mud bath, not a care in the world. You are welcome. 😊 🎥 Fidel Omondi #Nature #Lewa #Kenya

Territorial fights can turn brutal, especially when two powerful bulls compete for dominance! Recently, the KWS Northern Kenya Mobile Veterinary Unit, led by Dr. Sharon, together with the Lewa Veterinary Unit, responded to an injured white rhino bull in @LewaConservancy . The bull had deep inguinal lacerations and multiple wounds across its body, injuries suspected to have resulted from a territorial clash with another male. The team thoroughly cleansed and debrided all wounds before administering systemic treatment, after which the rhino was released back into hs natural habitat and will remain under close and continuous monitoring. Every intervention helps ensure that this iconic species continue to survive and thrive in the wild for generations to come!

John Pameri, Lewa’s Head of Security: “The future of conservation is collaborative. We’re honoured to join GRAA & hope to inspire other conservancies to support their rangers. When rangers thrive, wildlife thrives.” #Wildlife #Frontline #ConservationHeroes

This partnership prioritises ranger safety with on-duty insurance, including medical evacuation & disability coverage. Edward Ndiritu: “True peace of mind for our heroes and their families.”

We’re thrilled to announce that Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is now an official member of @The_GRAA. Thread:

Guess who’s running the #LondonMarathon again? Our Head of Anti-Poaching, Edward Ndiritu, thanks to @savetherhino. On 26 April 2026, he’ll trade his ranger boots for running shoes to support frontline conservation heroes. Cheer him on & donate: bit.ly/4snptnt

The wild has no bias; it only has demands. Loice Napunyu met every one, earning ‘Best Overall Recruit’ at Lewa recently. This #InternationalWomensDay, support the next generation of #WomenInConservation bit.ly/4u1ksmt #IWD #WomenInConservation #Women #IWD2026

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay And wildlife is also the small animals that find their way into our houses in the cities and towns, and rural homes as well. Let's not always rush to crash them to death...

@Pam_psk Well said, thank you!

𝐊𝐖𝐒 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 World Wildlife Day reminds humanity that biodiversity loss is no longer a distant environmental concern. It is an economic issue, a security issue, and a moral responsibility shared by governments, scientists, innovators, conservationists, and citizens alike. On this occasion, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is highlighting the advanced technologies it is deploying to strengthen wildlife protection across Kenya. Today, KWS Director General, Prof. @ErustusKanga, officially opened the Global Conservation Tech and Drone Forum in Nairobi, signaling a firm commitment to technology-driven conservation. Science and technology must guide both policy and field operations. Modern conservation relies on real-time data, precision monitoring, and intelligent systems that enhance situational awareness. Through drones, remote sensing tools, GIS, thermal imaging, and data analytics platforms, KWS is transforming how wildlife and protected areas are monitored. These technologies enable continuous surveillance, early detection of ecosystem stress, and rapid response to illegal activities, particularly in remote and harsh terrains. In his remarks, Prof. Kanga emphasized that wildlife crime has become technologically sophisticated, with criminal networks operating across borders using advanced communication systems and coordinated logistics. To counter this threat, conservation efforts must match, and surpass that level of technological capability. At the same time, climate change is accelerating habitat shifts, intensifying drought patterns, and placing ecosystems under unprecedented stress, making advanced monitoring systems, predictive analytics, and digital mapping essential for adaptive management and ecosystem resilience. #WWD2026 #ProtectingOurRoots

This week, Edward Ndīritū, our Head of Anti-Poaching, represented Lewa at the Global Conservation Tech and Drone Forum in Nairobi. The gathering brought together rangers, researchers and other stakeholders to advance practical, field-driven solutions. #GCTDF2026 #Conservation

Across Lewa’s protected landscape, wildlife moves with the confidence that comes from safety and space. More than 288 black and white rhinos now shape the horizon, a powerful recovery from only a handful decades ago. This abundance is no accident. lewa.org/world-wildlife…
