Lewa Conservancy: Where Conservation Meets Luxury
Nestled at the foothills of Mount Kenya, Lewa offers an exclusive safari experience that combines fantastic wildlife viewing with a deep commitment to conservation. Spanning over 65,000, Lewa is a haven for endangered species and a model for sustainable tourism.
Lewa boasts one of the highest wildlife densities in Kenya, including an impressive 12% of the country’s black and white rhino populations and the world’s largest single population of the endangered Grevy’s zebra.
Lewa is also a sanctuary for herds of elephants and buffalo, along with giraffes, lions, cheetahs, and over 400 species of birds. Lucky visitors may even encounter a pack of elusive wild dogs. Adding to its uniqueness, Lewa is home to the Samburu Five—a collection of rare and iconic species found only in this region, including the reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Grevy’s zebra.
There is also a wide range of activities that cater to all ages, making it perfect for families, couples, and adventurers. Guests can explore the conservancy on horseback or camel rides, adding a unique perspective to wildlife viewing. Walking safaris offer an intimate connection with nature, while visits to meet the anti-poaching teams provide insight into Lewa’s cutting-edge conservation efforts. For younger visitors, engaging educational programs ensure a memorable and enriching experience.
Lewa’s commitment to conservation goes hand in hand with its support for local communities. By visiting, you contribute directly to programs that fund education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods for the surrounding communities, ensuring a positive impact on both people and wildlife.
