What does it take to build a landscape where people and wildlife thrive together? For Lawrence Mutuma, it starts with listening to people and understanding what matters to them.
In northern Kenya, there is hope for mothers. 🤍
At the Lewa-supported Leparua Clinic, traditional midwives and healthcare practitioners from Leparua Dispensary work side by side, bringing together trusted tradition and modern medical care.

Come for the wildlife. Leave knowing you helped protect it. 🇰🇪

Five lodges at Lewa, each with its own particular magic.
Some are made for quiet indulgence. Others for wild encounters, or the kind of privacy that makes the rest of the world feel very far away. No two are alike, and all of them will stay with you.

Fun fact: the world’s fastest land animal can’t roar. It purrs! 🐆
Cheetahs have a fully ossified hyoid: a tiny throat bone that has turned to solid bone. Lions and leopards have a more flexible one for roaring. The cheetah’s design is purr-fect for purring. 😸
In 1960, Africa had up to 100,000 black rhinos.
Then poaching tore through them. By 1970: about 65,000. By the 1990s, just 2,300.
A species that once filled the savanna was pushed to the very edge.
But the story doesn’t end there. 🧵
The latest count, per the @RhinosIRF ‘State of the Rhino’ 2026 report, is 6,788 black rhinos across 12 African countries, almost triple the lowest point.

This #MashujaaDay, we celebrate the citizen scientists whose watchful eyes protect our wildlife.
Every sighting logged and every moment spent observing adds key data that helps track endangered species, monitor environmental shifts, and protect our natural heritage.
On Tuesday, as a herd moved through Lewa, we noticed an elephant in distress. A thick snare had cut deep into her trunk. 🐘
Alongside @KWSKenya, our team tracked her, safely immobilised her, removed the snare, treated her wound, and reunited her with her herd.
Elvis and Kitui are two of Lewa’s best-loved conservation success stories: hand-raised and fully rewilded. But before Elvis and Kitui, there was Mawingo, their mother.
