The Lewa Conservancy is one of the regions where you are most likely to see rhinos. Since 1983, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy has provided a safe, suitable home for rhinos, which were on the brink of extinction in the 1980s. Thanks to the remarkable work of Kenya’s sanctuaries, rhino numbers are growing. At Lewa, the population has risen from 15 individuals to more than 100.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and the neighbouring Borana Conservancy have merged and now hold a growing rhino population, representing 14% of Kenya’s total rhino population.

Yet despite this clear progress, rhinos remain severely threatened.

Today, the survival of one of Africa’s emblematic species depends on long-term solutions that involve local communities, secure its habitat, and reduce demand for its horn.
