Lewa House
Lewa Wilderness Trail-Laikipia Kenya
Lewa House is situated within the 45,000 acre Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
on the northern slopes of Mt. Kenya, Lewa House is a stunningly attractive residence. It is set on top of a hill with an engaging
panoramic view of the rolling landscape of the Conservancy, overlooking 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.
Lewa house 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. There are three
large cottages at Lewa house each with a double and a twin room, making the property suitable for up to twelve people.
All the cottages have ensuite bathrooms, apart from the family cottage, which has a shared bathroom. The houses are rustic,
with cooling `Sanje' (swamp grass) roofs and designed to mix the traditional relaxed ambiance with modern comfort. Each
of the cottages has a private veranda where guests can sit in the cool of the evening to enjoy the starlit African skies.
Lewa house is mainly used to house supporters of the Conservancy and now has been opened up to receive guests visiting Lewa.
