OUR MEMBERS

The Taveta Wildlife Conservancy Association (TTWCA) brings together 33 ranches and conservancies across 1 million acres to improve livelihoods while protecting and preserving one of Kenya’s most iconic and inspiring landscapes: The Tsavo ecosystem.

The TTWCA membership is diverse, comprising both ranches and conservancies of varying sizes, from the smallest of about 94 acres (Chalongo) to the largest of approximately 106,000 acres (Lualenyi).

Currently, the TTWCA members are in various stages of formation (established, operational, proposed or emerging conservancies) as per the requirements of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act 2013 (WCMA).

Ecosystem

With its endless skies, sprawling hills, charming cloud-shadowed African Savannah and vibrant culture, the Taita Taveta-Tsavo ecosystem is not only scenic with a majestic cultural heritage but it is also one of the world’s remaining mega flora and fauna habitats with multiple endangered and endemic species listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
