An animal so iconic that it seems as old as time. The profile of a rhinoceros has to be one of the most recognisable shapes in the animal kingdom.
This black rhino is called Waiwai. She lives on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and might be one of the most photographed individuals of all time due to her impressive horns. In fact, her front horn used to be double the length but last year part of her horn snapped off, leaving her with the set you see in this photo.
Waiwai is one of Lewa's supermums and has managed to successfully raise seven calves to adulthood - and that is no mean feat. Waiwai is truly magnificent, and a constant reminder of the beauty of wildlife and why we must work hard to protect it.

Why Lewa Wildlife Conservancy?
It's personal...
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a private reserve in the centre of Kenya. Originally founded as a rhino sanctuary in 1983, Lewa's rhino population has grown from 15 founding individuals to over 169 rhinos today. Lewa now holds 14% of Kenya's rhino population and is a leading pioneer in rhino conservation. By providing a suitable and safe habitat for threatened wildlife, Lewa has also enabled other key African species to thrive, including the critically endangered Grevy's zebra, elephants, lions, wild dogs, cheetah, the critically endangered Pancake tortoise and many more...
I have a masters in Wildlife Conservation and my thesis investigated black rhinos. I spent 7 months researching the black rhino population on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and I worked with some of the most inspiring, passionate and amazing people that I have ever met. I have witnessed first-hand the incredible work that is conducted on Lewa: vital scientific research, cutting-edge anti-poaching strategies, working closely with the local communities and providing educational outreach programmes to the surrounding schools. Lewa is truly a catalyst for conservation.
20% of all profits will be donated to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, specifically to the Research & Monitoring Department - my home for seven months, and a department whose work is vital for the conservation of several critically endangered species across the landscape.
