Overview of Lewa Wilderness Lodge
Kenya, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
Kenya boasts remarkable tales of conservation triumphs, and among the most notable is the story of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy nestled in the foothills of Mount Kenya. This expansive 62,000-acre landscape serves as a sanctuary for some of the nation’s rarest and most extraordinary species, including the stunning Grevy’s zebra and the majestic black rhino. Lewa Wilderness Lodge serves as a perfect starting point to delve into this rolling terrain, where you can seek out not just the iconic mammals but also other remarkable sights, such as the pink-lidded Verreaux’s eagle-owl.

With roots that reach back to 1924, the lodge is anchored in the original farmhouse of the legendary Craig family. Still owner-run, the Craigs are deeply engaged in every facet of Lewa, and alongside their remarkable guiding team, they make sure guests grasp the ways in which education and social welfare contribute positively to conservation.

Alongside remarkable game drives, fly-camping, and guided walks, Lewa Wilderness Lodge presents tennis, horse riding, camel trekking, and exhilarating flights in a vintage biplane. Explore the enchanting Ngarendare waterfalls, embark on a meaningful journey to Il’ Ngwesi village, and engage with the dedicated anti-poaching dogs to learn about their vital contribution to safeguarding Kenya’s rhino sanctuary.

A stay at Lewa Wilderness Lodge is ideal for those who seek to dive deep into a unique and captivating region of Kenya. It remains shut during the typical rainy periods of April to May and again in November.
