Protecting People, Wildlife & Nation

Wildlife Security

At Kenya Wildlife Service, security is not just a function, it is a promise we make to every Kenyan, every visitor, and every community that calls our wild landscapes home. We believe that when people feel safe alongside wildlife, conservation thrives. That is why we work around the clock, on the ground and in the air, to protect people, property, and the natural world we all share. From combating poaching and wildlife trafficking to partnering with national and international agencies, we take a whole-of-society approach to keeping Kenya’s ecosystems and communities secure. Whether it is a game drive through our national parks or a community living beside a wildlife corridor, KWS is there, watchful, responsive, and committed. Together with our partners and the public, we are building a Kenya where people and wildlife can live and flourish in safety.
