The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (also known as Lewa Downs) is located in northern Kenya. It was formed in 1995. It is a wildlife sanctuary incorporating the Ngare Ndare Forest and covering over 62,000 acres (250 km2). The Conservancy is home to a wide variety of wildlife including the rare and endangered black rhino, Grevy's zebra and sitatunga.
It also includes the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and African buffalo). Lewa holds over 12% of Kenya's black rhino population and the largest single population of Grevy's zebras in the world (approximately 350 individuals).
The Conservancy is also home to the Northern Rangelands Trust, an innovative partnership with a number of communities to the north who have given land for the preservation of wildlife.
Lewa has its own education program that helps develop schools and students. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is located south of Isiolo town but north of Mount Kenya.

Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.

The Grévy's zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands where it feeds on grasses, legumes, and browse; it can survive up to five days without water.
I want to let everyone know I am OK. The area where I live sustained little damage from Hurricane Ian, unlike the catastrophic damage caused to other peoples’ property in parts of Collier County, Lee County, and all over Florida. The power went out at my house on September 26 and didn’t come back on until today.
I will have things to do for the next couple of days, so I will not be able to be on Flickr again until Friday.
I want to thank everyone for their concern. Sue

For the water we found there
made it fine sacred ground where
We refused to leave redolent

(Equus grevyi) B28I5635 Samburu NP - Central Kenya
The Grevy's Zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the Imperial Zebra, is the largest living wild equid and the most threatened of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.
The Grevy's Zebra lives in semi-arid grasslands where it feeds on grasses, legumes, and browse; it can survive up to five days without water. It differs from the other zebra species in that it does not live in harems and has few long-lasting social bonds. Stallion territoriality and mother–foal relationships form the basis of the social system of the Grevy's Zebra. This Zebra is considered to be endangered. Its population has declined from 15,000 to 3,000 since the 1970s. However, as of 2008, the population is stable.
Le Zèbre de Grévy (Equus grevyi), également connu sous le nom de Zèbre impérial, est le plus grand des équidés sauvages mais aussi la plus menacée des trois espèces de zèbres, les deux autres étant le zèbre des plaines et le zèbre de montagne. Son nom est un hommage au président de la République Française Jules Grévy. Il est l’unique membre toujours existant du sous-genre Dolichohippus.
Le zèbre de Grévy vit au Kenya et en Éthiopie. Comparé aux autres zèbres, il est très grand, a de grandes oreilles, et ses rayures sont plus fines. Il vit dans les plaines semi-arides où il se nourrit d’herbe, de légumes et de buissons ; il peut survivre jusqu’à cinq jours sans boire.
Il se différencie des autres espèces de zèbres par son comportement social : il ne vit pas en harem et ne se lie que pendant peu de temps avec ses congénères. Son système social est régi par la territorialité des mâles, et le lien qui unit la mère et son petit.
Le zèbre de Grévy est une espèce menacée. Sa population est passée de 15 000 individus à environ 2 000 entre les années 1970 et 2004. Depuis le milieu des années 2000 sa population est relativement stable, avec un effectif estimé lors des derniers comptages (2016) à 2 680 individus dont un peu moins de 2 000 individus matures.

Grévy's are the tallest Zebra species; they have mule-like, larger ears, and have the tightest stripes of all zebras. They have distinctively erect manes, and more slender snouts. They are also very endangered and are basically limited to northern regions of Kenya and a little bit into Somalia. These Grevy's live in a conservancy in Kenya and are doing well. Overall though, the population is still declining.

Found almost exclusively in northern Kenya, the Grevy’s zebra remains endangered. This unique species of zebra is known for its striking, tall appearance, thin stripes and elegant gait. In the late 1970s, over 15,000 Grevy’s zebra roamed in the wild. Hunting and poaching drastically reduced the population over the years, and the 2016 Great Grevy’s census results indicated that Kenya is now home to 2,350 Grevy’s zebras, 90% of the world’s population.
... or tight stripes! These are Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), and they have thinner bands (stripes) than their plains cousins.
There are reputedly fewer than 3,000 of these left in the wild, and we had come all the way to Samburu to see them. And they were worth seeing. Being less common, they are a prettier sight than their more numerous cousins (we think).

I included this photo because it really helps to see the difference between the common Zebra and the Grevy's Zebra. The outlier on the left side of the photo is the Grevy's Zebra that for some reason was hanging out with the other more common zebras. But you can clearly see the differences. The Grevy's is larger, and his stripe pattern is different.

The Grévy’s zebra largely inhabits northern Kenya, with some isolated populations in Ethiopia. It was extirpated from Somalia and Djibouti and its status in South Sudan is uncertain. It lives in Acacia-Commiphora bushlands and barren plains. Ecologically, this species is intermediate between the arid-living African wild ass and the water-dependent plains zebra. – Wikipedia
