Sera Community Conservancy

Located in northern Kenya’s East Samburu District, the Sera Community Conservancy is one of fifteen conservancies operating under the Northern Rangelands Trust. The local Samburu communities formed the conservancy with the common aim of conservation, development and the sustainable use of natural resources. This protected area, which stretches over 30 000 hectares, is the first in East Africa to operate and own a black rhino sanctuary. The conservancy covers an impressive expanse of wilderness that includes the natural springs at Kisima Hamsini and the mountains of Longtopi, Ol Kanjau, Ol Doinyo and Warges, which serve as the perfect backdrop to view an iconic Kenyan sunset. Grevy’s zebra, black rhino, elephant, wild dog, lion, gerenuk, oryx buffalo, and reticulated giraffe are among the most spotted wildlife in the area.
