They are mocked in folklore, demonised in film, and dismissed as nature’s outcasts. But behind the menacing cackle and powerful jaws, hyenas are one of Kenya’s most misunderstood — yet ecologically vital carnivores.
According to the 2021 National Wildlife Census conducted by the Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya recorded a total of 5,147 hyenas across various ecosystems and protected areas.
The Tsavo Ecosystem accounted for the highest number with 3,914 individuals, followed by the Amboseli Ecosystem with 346, and the Maasai Mara with 450. Other notable populations included Meru National Park (98), Aberdare National Park (247), Lake Nakuru National Park (30), and Naivasha ranches (62).
