Lewa Wilderness has been a private home belonging to the Craig family since 1972. The Craig’s are still there today, welcoming guests into their extraordinary part of the world and providing a safari lodge that is a home away from home, with every detail painstakingly considered so that guests feel as comfortable as possible. It is a very unique safari experience where game drives almost take a back seat there is so much else to do.

There are nine cottages tucked into the hillside at Lewa Wilderness, each comfortable and luxurious with a delightfully rustic ranch homestead feel to it. 3 of these are the garden cottages which are closer to the main house and perfect for families with young children as they have two en-suite bedrooms, joined by a sitting area. The six hillside rooms are all one-bedroom cottages, each individually designed and decorated and placed to make the most of the beautiful views over the valley.

Guests in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy are surrounded by wonderful game viewing opportunities, and as well as being home to the Big 5 Lewa is one of the only places where you are almost guaranteed to see the endangered black rhinos as well as white rhinos. 

What makes Lewa so incredibly special is the huge variety of activities on offer here. As well as game drives and walking safaris guests can also enjoy camel back safaris, horse back safaris and bi-plane flights with Will Craig. The lodge stables are just a two minute walk from the lodge and home to over 30 horses and ponies. The horses are well accustomed to the wildlife, and the wildlife to the horses, enabling you to get much closer and feel much more a part of your surroundings when out in the bush.
