For generations, both Lewa and Borana have represented the gold standard in wildlife conservation, eco-tourism, and sustainable community development. Since their inception, the Lewa and Borana Conservancies have benefited from the support of families and friends from around the globe. When the fence between Lewa and Borana was taken down in 2015, these neighbouring conservancies made history, marking the first time that two privately managed and owned conservancies had undertaken such an important step for the benefit of Kenya’s wildlife and some of its most threatened species. Together, Lewa and Borana now account for 93,000 acres of safe wildlife habitat. The success and sustainability of this partnership is also achieved through the support of the local communities where over 60,000 people reside and benefit from the conservancies’ education, healthcare and welfare programmes.
