 Lewa Safari Camp 

A royal favourite

This rustic camp is one of just a handful of camps in the exclusive Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.

This safari camp is one of a kind. Located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it benefits from the active conservation efforts of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. There are currently 10% of Kenya's rhino population here, which makes for superb game viewing, and the conservancy also has the largest concentration of Grévy’s zebra in the world. Your stay here helps contribute to the vital work to protect some of Africa’s most vulnerable wildlife. The conservancy covers 65,000 acres; it’s a vast wilderness with habitats that include pristine forests, grasslands and woodlands with views of Mount Kenya.

Within the camp, there is everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Rise early for a bush breakfast and game drive. Relax by the log fire in the lounge and indulge with home-made cakes at afternoon tea before returning to your large, thatched tent, designed with simple rusticity and an emphasis on the abundant space.

Why we love Lewa Safari Camp

  • Prepare for a near-private safari experience – the strict tourism limits means you rarely have to share viewing areas with other vehicles

  • Owned by the local community, Lewa Safari Camp’s profits are directly reinvested into conservation and community efforts

  • The 4x4 Landcruisers used on game drives are equipped with photographic equipment stands and charging points

  • The Prince and Princess of Wales famously got engaged in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in 2010
