Lewa is a prime sanctuary on Laikipia Plateau. It is known for its outstanding conservation record and development work in the local community. It is one of the best places in Kenya to see the Big Five.

Sightings are common of both black rhino and white rhino, and it’s also a stronghold for the endangered Grevy’s zebra. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy offers excellent wildlife-viewing opportunities. All of the Big Five are present and the sightings of both black and white rhino are unsurpassed. Elephant, cheetah and lion are easily seen.

Lucky visitors might come across a pack of wild dogs as they move in and out of the area. Northern Kenya specials such as reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra and beisa oryx are also present.
