The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy works as a model and catalyst for the conservation of wildlife and its habitat. It does this through the protection and management of species, the initiation and support of community conservation and development programmes, and the education of neighboring areas in the value of wildlife. For local communities, Lewa represents much more than the wildlife it protects.
Lewa is home to the world’s largest concentration of Grevy’s zebras, as well as rare species such as Beisa oryx and black rhinos and other herbivores include buffaloes, elephants, reticulated giraffes, impalas, hartebeests and more. The abundance of herbivores supports lions, cheetahs, jackals, leopards, hyenas and other carnivores, and the bird life is astonishing at a count of 440 different species. The custom safari vehicles are designed to ensure your comfort and to facilitate your photographic endeavors.
After your morning Laikipia safari in the conservancy, enjoy a bush breakfast or return to the camp to dine with other guests. When your appetite is satisfied, join a trained wildlife ranger for a guided walk, visit the Samburu village or relax with a good book. After lunch, lounge by the pool or take a much-needed nap.
To the people who neighbor the Conservancy, Lewa provides the chance to maintain their traditional way of life in a modern and sustainable context through progressive grazing and forestry initiatives. To families living on its boundaries, Lewa offers improved livelihoods with its adult education and women’s micro-credit programmes, community-managed water projects, and access to health care at its four health clinics. To thousands of children in local schools, Lewa opens doors to a future with more choices than the generations before them.
What’s good about Lewa Safari Camp?
Lewa Safari Camp has a stunning location within Lewa Wildlife 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.The camp is based within the private 62,000 acre wildlife conservancy.
The conservancy is home to about10%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 Safari Camp, you contribute to helping 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.
With only 12 guest tents, all shaded with a thatched roof, Elewana Lewa Safari Camp is where you find the quality personalized service, solitude and exclusive wilderness access that ensure a superior Laikipia tour of Lewa Conservancy. Tents are available as double or twins for romantics, adventurers and solo travelers while triple tents are specially designed to accommodate families with children under 16 years old.
The minimalistic furnishings meet all of your needs, and the open sides of the tent give you a front row seat to breathtaking scenery, all from the comfort of your bed. For your romantic couple’s holiday in Kenya, we recommend a tent on the end, and guests with limited mobility may prefer the tents that are closer to the main areas.
