Laikipia Plateau
Lewa Safari Camp has a stunning location within Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, with outstanding game viewing, and spectacular views to Mount Kenya to the south and arid lowlands to the north. The camp is based within the private 65,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust. The number of visitors to Lewa has been greatly restricted, giving you the opportunity to experience Africa at its wildest.
Lewa re-invests all the profits generated from tourism (including profits from Lewa Safari Camp) into its core programmes. 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.
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.
You should also have a good chance of seeing elephant, giraffe, eland, oryx, buffalo, lion and leopard.
Activities during a stay at Lewa Safari Camp include game drives in 4x4 land cruisers, guided bush walks, horse-riding and camel trekking (subject to availability), bush breakfasts, sundowners, visits to archaeological sites, and educational talks on the history and the day to day operation of the Conservancy.
There are 12 tents in total. Each tent has a thatched roof, verandah and full en-suite bathroom, very much in the 'Lewa' style.
In between activities, the central lodge 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.
