Hidden within the vast Tsavo ecosystem, Lumo Conservancy offers one of Kenya’s most authentic and exclusive safari experiences. Managed through a successful partnership between local communities and conservation organizations, Lumo demonstrates how sustainable tourism can protect wildlife while benefiting local people.
Spanning over 48,000 acres between Tsavo West National Park and the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, the conservancy serves as a critical wildlife corridor for elephants, lions, leopards, and countless other species moving across southern Kenya. Unlike some of Kenya’s busier parks, Lumo provides visitors with a sense of exclusivity and tranquility. Fewer vehicles, vast open landscapes, and exceptional wildlife encounters make every game drive feel personal and immersive.
Lumo Conservancy is located in Taita Taveta County, approximately 220 kilometers from Mombasa and close to Tsavo West National Park.
The conservancy is easily incorporated into Tsavo and coastal safari itineraries.
Lumo features rolling plains, acacia woodlands, seasonal rivers, rocky outcrops, and scenic hills that offer panoramic views across the Tsavo ecosystem. The diverse habitats support a wide variety of wildlife and create spectacular scenery throughout the year. Sunsets from elevated viewpoints are among the most memorable experiences in the conservancy.
