Lewa Safari Camp
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy>>Laikipia Kenya
Lewa Safari Camp (the old Rhino sanctuary
head quarters) with its lush green lawns, a pool and tented accommodation, provides visitors with an insight to conservation
and wildlife management at its best. Although under the not for profit umbrella, The Safari Camp spares no comforts on the
home front.
Lewa Safari Camp has a stunning location within Lewa wildlife / rhino conservancy, with outstanding game viewing,
and spectacular views to Mt. Kenya to the south and arid lowlands to the north. Each tent at Lewa Ssfari Camp 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.
Lewa Safari 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.
