Lewa Safari Camp is a tented camp on the 65,000 acre Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The wildlife here is excellent, and Lewa Downs has 10% of Kenya's Black Rhinos (around 47) and 20% of its White Rhinos (about 35). It is also home to 20% of the world's endangered Grevy Zebras. It is a non-malarial area due its altitude of 1700m.
Lewa Safari Camp has 12 tents, each within a thatched structure, accommodating up to 26 guests. The tents are comfortable rather than luxurious, but well-appointed with an en-suite shower room with flush loo. They are also nicely spaced for a reasonable amount of privacy. There is a generator providing bedside and bathroom lighting morning and evening.
Lewa Safari Camp public area has a lounge (with library), bar and restaurant. You can also charge cameras etc here. There is a swimming pool, a hide, and also a gift shop. Lewa Safari Camp list of activities you can enjoy here is very extensive. There are day and night game drives, nature walks, and horse rides. However it is the choice of conservation/community-orientated activities which makes Lewa Safari Camp unique.
These include visits to orphaned animals, days out with Grevy zebra researchers, accompanying tracker dogs on their training, assisting fencers on patrol, visiting Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve to find Colobus monkeys and learn about flora and fauna, visit water schemes and other community development projects, and guided tours of ancient hand axe sites and prehistoric rock-hewn game boards.
