50 YEARS IN THE MAKING
50 YEARS IN THE MAKING
The beauty of Lewa Wilderness isn’t just in the incredible scenery and wildlife explored daily with game drives – but in the wealth of activities and experiences to be had at every turn. Situated on the edge of one of Kenya’s most private wildlife and environmental conservation projects, the wildlife-rich Lewa provides guests a home-away-from-home experience that’s hard to find these days.
When you arrive at the lodge, you’ll immediately feel like you’re with family. Just nine exclusive rooms dot the Lewa Wilderness landscape. Six cottages are tucked into the hillside overlooking the sprawling Eastern Marania Valley, plus a further three garden cottages that are cozy yet expansive are set amongst the beautiful lawn.
At Lewa Wilderness we go beyond the game drive, with exceptional wildlife and wilderness viewing opportunities. From the traditional game viewing vehicles (we’ve recently converted one of our Landcruisers to be 100% electric), to guided walks and breathtaking scenic flights in our retro yellow WACO bi-plane to unforgettable horse riding safaris for all ages and levels and even camel riding and fly camping.
As a guest with us, you are automatically supporting the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, renowned for both its pioneering conservation initiatives as well as community and education programs.
Our welcoming and intimate lodge is especially favored amongst families and couples looking for adventure that has a great deal more heart. Lewa Wilderness prides itself on having many guests return year after year, arriving as friends – and leaving as family.
BEYOND THE GAME DRIVE
walk, ride, fly, drive and camp – the safari opportunities at Lewa Wilderness are as exhilarating as they are varied – all types of travelers will find the safari activity of their wildest dreams.

EMILY, UK
"Our first time to Kenya, our first time in Africa and 5 nights at Lewa Wilderness – it ‘wildly’ exceeded all expectations. Thanks for all your patience, kindness and expert introduction to the animals, plants and people of this beautiful part of the world."
MURRAY & LOIS FLOCK, CANADA
"You can read reviews, get recommendations, and see pictures of Lewa but nothing can do adequate justice to the experience of being here. People come for the game but that’s just the beginning. For us, it was the people that made the stay one not to forget."
ZACH & JANYLLE, NEW YORK
"What a fantastic experience. A perfect retreat with such a wonderful and wildlife of a lifetime! From start to finish you all welcomed us with open arms and open hearts. Lewa Wilderness is the perfect place to learn about what the world is missing! Thank you all for making our first trip to Africa remarkable."
ANDY & LOREN, LOUISIANA
"Lewa is a wonderful example of everything a safari adventure should be. The warmth of the staff, the communal dining experience, the game drives, the food, the gardens are just perfect. I will carry my incredible memories of this place forever."
KAREN, CALIFORNIA
"What a slice of heaven you have here. Thank you for all of the wonderful adventures we have enjoyed."
RAY & SHERIE, MONTANA
"Our first time here and it has exceeded all of our expectations. The photographs and the videos will not do justice to the spectacular beauty as they do not capture sounds, bird songs, hyena calls nor the scent of the wild flowers and cedar."
