Lewa Safari Camp is set on the 65,000 acre, privately owned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Situated against the dramatic backdrop of the snow-covered massif of Mt Kenya and with the magnificent Northern Frontier District stretching out to the North, Lewa is an outstanding tourist destination, offering spectacular scenery, superb game viewing and exciting activities for the discerning traveller.
The Conservancy, formerly a working cattle ranch and otherwise known as Lewa Downs, has been in the Craig family since 1924. Three generations of the family continue to be involved in daily operations on Lewa. With wildlife densities as high as anywhere in Africa, it is possible to see all of Africa's Big Five on Lewa, and the Conservancy provides a refuge for several endangered species.
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a pioneer in wildlife preservation, which has gained a reputation for extending benefits of conservation beyond its borders. Lewa Safari Camp is fully owned by the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which means that all proceeds generated by the camp are directly reinvested into wildlife conservation and and local community development projects.
Room
The camp can sleep 26 guests, and comprises 12 tents; nine twin rooms, one double and two family/triple tents, all with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, and flush toilets. There are power outlets inthe tents so phone/camera batteries can be charged in the tent or in the main mess. Lighting is by a 240V generator, run morning and evening hours. Hair dryers can not be used. Your host at the Lewa Safari camp is Anne-Marie, who is always on hand to share her intimate knowledge of this land and its wildlife, and to ensure that your stay at Lewa is both memorable and comfortable.
Safari Tents
Eleven ensuite safari tents, all of which can be laid out as doubles or twins. Three of the tents can accommodate triples for children under 16 only.
Each thatch-covered tent consists of a main bedroom, en-suite bathroom and a spacious verandah. Let us know if you require twin beds or a double bed.
Family Tent Suites
Two family tent suites – each family suite consists of two ensuite safari tents (one double, one twin) with a shared verandah.

Recreation
Activities at Lewa Safari Camp include game drives in comfortable 4WD Toyotas – each with three rows so that all guests have an unobstructed view to one side. The game viewing is good here, with rhino being the real highlight, though the views of Mount Kenya are pretty impressive too. Guests who wish to head out on longer drives to explore further afield in the conservancy can opt to take a packed breakfast or lunch. Walks are also offered here, led by a guide and an armed ranger who take you out across the plains. These are best done in the cool mornings, when the light and views are stunning. A further range of activities at Lewa Safari Camp can be arranged at extra cost. With advance notice, horse and camel safaris, run by the neighbouring Lewa Wilderness, can be organized at US$50 per person. Visits to Il Ngwesi village, which can give real insight into the local Maasai culture, cost US$45 per person. Finally, there is the option of a day trip, at US$35 per person, into the Ngare Ndare Forest. These walks, accompanied by a guide and an armed ranger, offer a stark contrast to the plains of rest of the conservancy. Though we didn’t get a chance to go here when we last visited Lewa we were told that the canopy walkway, and swimming in the waterfall and pools, is great fun.
