OUR LEGACY
Miranda came out to Kenya in 2016 to volunteer with horses on a nearby farm, after meeting the Craig’s and visiting Wilderness, she agreed to not get on her return flight home and take on managing the stables.
Growing up in the UK, Miranda was fortunate to be on a horse before she could walk and had a passion for eventing and later on playing polo. On her gap year she worked on farms in Australia with polo ponies and training young stock. After studying business at university, she never imagined ending up working in such a remote and beautiful place, surrounded by wildlife and horses.
Living and working out here has given Miranda incredible opportunities to explore Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on horseback, learn about the animals in their nature habitat and expand her veterinary knowledge and practical skills.
Miranda is now also involved in the marketing side of Lewa Wilderness, and runs our social media pages!
