Who We Are

Dedicated to preserving wildlife and its habitat while engaging local communities in sustainable management and tourism

Lumo Community Wildlife Conservancy is a vital conservation initiative located in southeastern Kenya. Spanning over 48,000 acres, it serves as a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife species, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and numerous bird species. Lumo is unique in that it is managed and operated by the local community, providing a sustainable model for wildlife conservation that benefits both the environment and the people living in the area. Visitors to Lumo can enjoy safari experiences while contributing to the preservation of Kenya’s rich biodiversity.

In essence, wildlife conservation is not just about saving individual species; it’s about safeguarding the intricate web of life that sustains us and future generations. The benefits of conservation are intertwined with the health of ecosystems, economies, and human societies, making it a vital endeavor for a sustainable and harmonious world.
