LUMO Wildlife Sanctuary
Community conservation between the Tsavo parks
This private wildlife sanctuary was provided to protect the ecosystem of three neighboring farms Lualenyi, Mramba and Oza with an area of 400 sq km. The first letters of the three farms form the name Lumo.
The protected area is geographically located exactly between the Tsavo East and West National Parks and borders the Taita Hills Reserve.
The aim of the community, which now has 4000 members, is to protect species and preserve the local flora and fauna! This protection program is financed primarily through park entry fees, rental income and overnight accommodation fees from the local lodges.

When to travel?
As in the neighbouring Tsavo parks, the dry seasons from June to October and January to March offer the best game viewing, when animals gather at the waterholes.
The climate is warm and dry. After rains the savannah blooms green. LUMO is excellent as a quiet complement to a classic Tsavo safari.
