Things to Know About Lewa (Kenya)
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is located on a 62,000-acre ranch. It is a great place to see the five big animals like rhinos, lions, leopards, elephants and buffalo. Over time, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy's black rhino population has grown from 15 in 1984 to 169 today. Due to the growth in the rhino population, some rhinos have been translocated to other key conservation areas (like Borana and Sera Conservancies). To protect rhino populations and other wildlife as well electric fencing, assault rifles, and armed field rangers patrol the perimeter everyday due to the constant threat of poaching. There is nothing better than the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Tour if you want to explore the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.
Tourism at Lewa Conservancy contributes to the protection of flora and fauna and the development of the community since a portion of all proceeds from tourism goes to both the programs. Lewa also supports community projects that improve the lives of local people, such as four medical clinics, more than a dozen schools and women's microcredit programs. Knowing the ideal time to visit Lewa Conservancy is crucial since it affects lodging costs, airfare costs, availability and the weather tourists may anticipate while on safari. Lewa Kenya Tour Packages offers excellent wildlife viewing all the year round, but persistent rain might ruin your trip. Due to poor road conditions in those wet season months, the reserve's lodges are closed between April and November.

Top Attractions in Lewa
Black rhinos, Grevy's zebras and sitatungas are some of the wildlife that calls the Conservancy home. The big five are also included (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and Cape buffaloes). Approximately 350 Grevy's zebras live in Lewa, which has over 12% of Kenya's eastern black rhinoceros population. As a resident predator, the "King of the Jungle" lives there. Currently, 44 lions are present in the Lewa-Borana Landscape. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Tour will also let you watch Lewa’s occasional pack of critically endangered African-painted dogs (also known as sable dogs). More than 400 species of birds live in the Conservancy, such as Somali ostriches and vulturine guineafowl, making it an excellent birding destination. Outside the Conservancy, the Ngare Ndare Forest makes for an excellent day trip. The vast, smooth plains of the conservancy contrast with the dense shrubbery and tightly packed forest trees.
