Lewa House-Lewa
Conservancy
Situated within the 45,000 acre Lewa
Wildlife Conservancy on the northern slopes
of Mt. 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.
ACCOMMODATION
The property has a main building with the
lounge and dining area, opening up to the
charmingly furnished stretch veranda with
its own special vista across the plains of
Northern Kenya. There are three large
cottages each with a double and a twin room,
making the property suitable for up to
twelve people. All the cottages have ensuite
bathrooms, apart from the family cottage,
which has a shared bathroom. The houses are
rustic, with cooling `Sanje' (swamp grass)
roofs and designed to mix the traditional
relaxed ambiance with modern comfort. Each
of the cottages has a private veranda where
guests can sit in the cool of the evening to
enjoy the starlit African skies. Lewa house
is mainly used to house supporters of the
Conservancy and now has been opened up to
receive guests visiting Lewa.
Lewa House has spectacular views.
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 zebra (we have 25% of the
world's population). There are myriad other
animal species, which provide as much
viewing pleasure as the famous big five,
also found on Lewa.
Bird enthusiasts marvel at the more then
four hundred identified bird species, some
rare, others abundant, all beautiful.

In the vicinity of Lewa house, lesser
