Position of Lewa Wilderness, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

There is a myriad of animal species, which provide as much viewing pleasure as the famous Big 5, also found on Lewa in Kenya.

Situated within the 45,000 acre Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on the northern slopes of Mount 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, Kenya.

Owing to its location in the private wilderness of the not-for-profit conservation success story, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, guests at Lewa house have an almost exclusive access to an area teeming with a variety of exciting wildlife, of most note being the endangered species such as Rhino (which Lewa is probably best known for) and the Grevy’s zebra (17% of the world's population stays at Lewa).

There are daily schedule flights (via Nanyuki) to Lewa Downs, Air Kenya departs Nairobi at 09hr15, arrives at Lewa Downs approximately 10hr10 and Safari Link departs Nairobi at 11hr30, arriving at Lewa Downs 12h35. You can also access Lewa by private charter flight, directly to Lewa Downs airstrip or by road, which is a four hour drive from Nairobi.

The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy works as a catalyst for the conservation of wildlife and its habitat. It does this through the protection and management of species, the initiation and support of community conservation and development programmes, and the education of neighbouring areas in the value of wildlife.
