Introduction

Situated in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a 62,000-acre wildlife sanctuary near the northern slopes of Mt Kenya, Elewana Lewa Safari Camp offers up some of the best wildlife viewing that Kenya as a country has to offer (yes, you read that right).

The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy offers up in terms of wildlife is a very successful rhino and Grevy zebra breeding, lion, leopard, and over 70 other mammal species. A true wildlife photographers paradise. The conservancy offers five extremely diverse ecosystems: open savannah, acacia forest, rocky gorges and ravines, mountain forest and the Lewa swamp.

Over 440 species have been sighted and recorded in the area.

Lewa Safari Camp offers guest privileged access to this amazing 65,000 acre of protected wilderness.

Thirteen permanent tented suites are available (11x twin/double and 2x family tented suites), all with private views out over and into the surrounding Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. All suites offer a main bedroom, spacious verandah and en-suite bathrooms facilities.

The family tented suites offer a master bedroom and an en-suite twin room with en-suite bathrooms connected by a large and private verandah.

Cuisine and Wine

Most meals (other than those legendary bush breakfasts) are served in and around the central guest area at Lewa Safari Camp.

Breakfast and lunches are served "al fresco" by the swimming pool, while dinners are served up in the indoor dining room or the outdoors almost boma area. A modest wine list from which you can find a suitable bottle to accompany your evening meal.

All the food is fresh, with most of the produce coming from local small-scale Masai farmers surrounding the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, hence supporting the local economy.
