Lewa Conservancy has its roots in the Craig family who have farmed here with the philosophy that there would always be room for wildlife.  As the plight of the black rhino became desperate in Africa, the ranch was converted into a rhino sanctuary and today Lewa spans 61,000 acres, and is home to over 11 percent of Kenya’s black rhino population, and over 14 percent of Kenya’s white rhino population and the world’s largest single population of Grevy’s zebra. 

With its proven track record, the Lewa model of community-based conservation development is being spearheaded across northern Kenya, and emulated by other East African conservation organizations.  In late June 2013, the World Heritage Committee extended the boundaries of the Mount Kenya World Heritage Site to include Lewa and Ngare Ndare Forest.
