From aerial supercub surveillance of Africa's last Big Tuskers to frontline veterinary field surgery, community beehive fences, and Kasigau REDD+ forest defense across 22,000 km² of wilderness.
Tsavo is an immense landscape comprising two national parks, dozens of community ranches, and vast dispersal areas. The Conservancy functions as an enabling coordination layer uniting KWS, frontline NGOs, and local landholders.
Coordinating aerial reconnaissance flights with ground rapid-response patrols across remote lava ridges and unpatrolled boundary tracts.
Securing the critical wildlife corridor ranches between Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and Mkomazi through direct carbon revenue and eco-tourism dividends.
Installing solar-powered groundwater boreholes to supply clean drinking pans during catastrophic La Niña droughts, halting mass animal starvation.
Hover over active operational pins across Tsavo East, Tsavo West, the Kasigau REDD+ Corridor, Mzima Springs, and community conservancies.
Explore how statutory authorities, specialist NGOs, and community rangers collaborate to protect wildlife and foster coexistence.
Tsavo is home to over half of the world's remaining "Super Tuskers" — bull elephants whose tusks exceed 100 lbs (45 kg) per side. Dedicated Supercub planes and ground tracker teams monitor these magnificent giants daily to prevent poaching.
Fully equipped veterinary field teams traverse the wilderness 24/7 in custom 4x4 vehicles, treating wild elephants, lions, giraffes, and rhinos injured by poison arrows, wire snares, and bullet wounds, saving thousands of lives.
The world's first verified REDD+ project protects 500,000 acres of vital wildlife corridor between Tsavo East and West. Carbon credit revenues fund schools, water boreholes, community ranger patrols, and rural eco-jobs.
Elephants are naturally terrified of African honeybees. By linking beehives with wire around smallholder farms, when elephants touch the wire the bees swarm, humanely deterring crop-raiding and producing valuable 'Elephant-Friendly Honey'.
Operating a fleet of Piper Supercubs and helicopters, pilot rangers maintain vigilance over inaccessible lava fields, poacher hideouts, and drying waterholes, relaying real-time coordinates to ground ranger arrest units.
Over 40 trained community wildlife scouts drawn from local Taita landowners protect the 125,000-acre LUMO sanctuary, intercepting charcoal burners, tracking game movements, and guiding guests at Lion's Bluff.
During protracted dry seasons when seasonal pans evaporate, elephants and herbivores face severe dehydration. Tsavo Trust operates solar-powered submersible pumps that replenish natural pans and mud wallows across the arid interior.
Located in the rugged foothills of Tsavo West, Ngulia is a fortified 90 km² sanctuary surrounded by electrified solar fencing. It safeguards a vital founder population of critically endangered Eastern Black Rhinos under 24/7 dedicated ranger guard.
