Lewa Safari Camp

Each tent has a thatched roof, verandah and full en suite bathroom, very much in the 'Lewa' style. The central areas have exquisite gardens with a large sunny verandah and swimming pool to enjoy during the day, and cosy log fires in the lounge and dining room for the more chilly evenings.

• Founded in 1995, the not-for-profit Lewa Wildlife Conservancy spans 62,000 acres and serves as a catalyst for conservation across northern Kenya.
• Through the protection and management of endangered species, the initiation and support of community conservation and development programmes, and the education of neighbouring areas in the value of wildlife, Lewa has become Kenya’s leading model for conservation on private land, leading destination for low-impact conservation tourism, and leading catalyst for conservation, and its direct benefits for communities, across the region.
• Lewa supports 11 local primary schools in the construction of infrastructure, provision of educational materials and provides bursaries for local students from primary to university level.
• Lewa operates a clinic for its staff and adjoining communities and supports two other clinics in the region.
• The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Community Development Programmes aim at increasing social and economic benefits to the communities with whom we work. The essence of these programmes is to attempt to reduce costs which individuals and communities bear as a consequence of the continued presence of wildlife and to increase the socio-economic benefits they derive from it.
• Lewa assists it neighbouring communities with education support, health-care support, water projects, agricultural projects, social development and a women’s micro-credit programme.

Lewa Safari Camp has a huge number of returning guests which speaks volumes for a camp of this type. This is down to it getting the mix just right. The location is beautiful and not too hot due to the altitude and the game viewing is fantastic. All of this is backed up with great food and exceptional attention to detail service wise.

The quality of the guiding here is particularly noteworthy as all guides receive regular training by the Museums of Kenya and are constantly updated about the archaeological digs and other research being done nearby.

We think that Lewa Safari Camp makes an excellent choice for people wanting to see the big 5, particularly black rhino which are seen on a regular basis.
