Lewa Safari Camp

Lewa Safari Camp Photo #1 of 7 Lewa Safari Camp has a stunning location within the wildlife / rhino conservancy, with outstanding game viewing from camp and views of Mt. Kenya to the south and the arid lowlands to the north. Each tent has a thatched roof, verandah and full ensuite bathroom, very much in the 'Lewa' style. The central areas have cool gardens with a sunny verandah and swimming pool to enjoy during the day, and cosy log fires in the lounge and dining room during the chilly evenings.

Overview

Lewa is situated against the dramatic backdrop of the snow-covered massif of Mt Kenya. With some of the highest wildlife densities in all of Africa, you are in game viewing paradise!

The camp is based within the private 62,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust. The conservancy is home to about 10% of Kenya's black rhino population, and the single largest population of Grevy's zebra in the world. Lewa reinvests all the profits generated from tourism into its core programs. When you visit Lewa, you will help thousands of people from different backgrounds and cultures to improve their lives, and give their children a future, at the same time as ensuring Africa's wildlife has a stable home.
