About Us
A Beacon of Conservation
For over 5 decades, we have stood at the foothills of Mount Kenya as a refuge for wildlife in need. MKWC is a non-profit trust dedicated to preserving the environment and the wildlife within.
Our Purpose
To turn conservation into a lived culture, so its spirit takes root in everyone.
Our Vision
To be a beacon of conservation where nature and people live as one.
Our Philosophy
Nature is not a monument to protect, it is a living practice, renewed by each connection. Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy exists where people and nature find each other: where curiosity turns into care, and understanding turns into shared action. Every rescued animal, every ranger, every visitor adds to the same story, one still finding balance, still becoming.
