Lewa House overlooks the luggas (valleys) and hills, with the horizon rising to the eye-catching views of the Mathews range and the sacred mountain of the Samburu, Ol Lolokwe.

The property has a main building with a lounge and dining area, opening up to the charmingly furnished stretch veranda with its own special vista across the plains of Northern Kenya.

All the cottages have en-suite bathrooms plus a private veranda where guests can sit in the cool of the evening to enjoy the starlit African skies. A large swimming pool overlooking the waterhole with a thatched bar area for those all important sundowners are also yours to enjoy at Lewa House. Eating and relaxing takes place in the spacious lounge and dining areas with comfortable sofas, an open fire, fresh flowers, paintings, carvings and piles of coffee table books to read.

Kifaru is the Swahili word for Rhino. The house was built by one of Lewa’s long standing donors with no compromise to quality or standards. The house is perched on top of a hill with an endless panorama of the surrounding countryside and distant views of the snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya.

The lounge area is as spacious as the vast plains it overlooks. It provides a comfortable sitting area where huge fires are lit in the hearth casting a ruby glow over everything. The dining area includes a magnificent table crafted from ancient dhow wood and is the perfect place to share a meal with family and friends. A sky blue infinity pool adds to the breathtaking beauty of the place.

A short walk from the lounge area through the lush gardens is six individual cottages that can comfortably house up to twelve people. Each cottage has large windows looking out on stunning views and furnished with beautiful colonial style furniture. The windows are also fitted with stylish blinds that can be used to ensure guests privacy. Canopied double beds and en-suite bathrooms make for a comfortable stay at the house and guests are rejuvenated for an exciting day’s activities.

Lewa Safari Camp has a stunning location within Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, with outstanding game viewing, and spectacular views to Mt. Kenya to the south and arid lowlands to the north. Each tent has a thatched roof, verandah and full en suite bathroom, very much in the 'Lewa' style. The central 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.

The camp is based within the private 65,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust. The conservancy is home to about 10 percent of Kenya's black rhino population, and the single largest population of Grevy's zebra in the world. 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.
