Mission
Report wildlife incidents in under a minute.
See something that needs attention? Wanyama Watch lets tourists, farmers, and community members submit a photo, location, and short note so eligible ranger teams have a clearer report to review.
Why we built it
Sightings shouldn't get lost in calls and group chats.
Wildlife incidents are often reported through phone calls, WhatsApp messages, or word of mouth. Details get lost, locations are vague, and there's no easy way to follow up. Wanyama Watch gives every report structure, traceability, and a clearer path for review — for the public and for response teams.
From report to record
One report helps once. Many reports reveal a pattern.
For conservancies
Partner access for teams protecting wildlife.
Conservancies, ranger units, and field partners can use Wanyama Watch to review incoming reports, follow case progress, and build a clearer operational record across place, time, and incident type. Access is handled directly with each team.
Safety
For immediate danger or urgent wildlife matters, use official channels first. Wanyama Watch supports reporting and coordination, but it is not an emergency service. Contact KWS or the nearest wildlife office first.
