The Elewana Collection of 15 boutique lodges, camps and hotels is known for its unique accommodations in iconic locations across Kenya and Tanzania. Elewana crafts authentic and memorable safari experiences, providing the highest quality of luxury and comfort. Warm and genuine East African hospitality characterises a safari with Elewana, where guests are indulged with a luxurious and personalised stay.
The origin of the name Elewana is the Swahili word meaning “harmony”, a concept that underpins our company philosophy and influences the way we deliver unforgettable safari experiences. We continually strive to leave as little impact as possible on our surrounding environment, while creating a positive impact on local communities through our Land and Life Foundation.
The Land & Life Foundation is Elewana’s commitment to responsible tourism, ensuring future generations can enjoy the wonders of Africa and safari adventure. Land & Life believes that the sustainability of East Africa’s wildlife and habitats depends on four key actions: securing land for conservation, protecting species and their environment, providing tangible benefits to the people who live alongside wildlife, and educating the next generation of conservationists. Land & Life achieves this through four core programs - WildLife Warrior Program, School Support, Medical Support and Nature Conservation Program.
The Elewana Collection of boutique lodges, camps and hotels is known for its unique accommodations and iconic locations, providing some of Africa’s most authentic safari experiences in comfort and style.
At Elewana Collection, each of our 16 camps, lodges, and beach hideaways has its own individual style and charm, offering a completely unique and immersive experience in each destination.
We are delighted to announce that Elewana Loisaba Lodo Springs has reopened and due to popular demand, Elewana Loisaba Star Beds is now open for the months of February and March, along with the Easter holidays.
With a number of overseas visitors starting to travel again, as global lockdown measures ease, and domestic tourism busier than expected in some areas, The Elewana Collection has opened a number of properties, allowing both domestic and international travellers to explore some of the many beautiful areas in both Kenya and Tanzania.
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) launched the world’s first ever global safety and hygiene stamp, specifically designed to allow travellers to recognise governments and businesses around the world that have adopted health and hygiene global standardised protocols in order to experience ‘Safe Travels’.
Earlier this month, the President of the Republic of Kenya, announced that residents can now travel internally, with domestic flights resuming on 17 July and Kenya’s International Airports will open on 1 August 2020.

We are delighted to announce that after three and a half months, Elewana AfroChic Diani will once again welcome guests to enjoy our warm coastal hospitality. Located along a secluded section of Diani Beach, the hotel offers a magical setting of white sands, rustling palm trees, and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The hotel has earned itself a reputation for a “home away from home” atmosphere, excellent seafood and friendly service.
Sustainable tourism sits at the core of The Elewana Collection and now, more than ever, conservation initiatives and care for the local communities is critical. To this effect Elewana’s charitable arm The Land & Life Foundation, is launching the ‘Pamoja Fund’ to support the people, places and wildlife who have been most impacted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic
Whilst we are undoubtedly experiencing unprecedented and hugely difficult times, it is through working collaboratively and supporting each other that we’ll best weather the storm. We are incredibly grateful for our industry partners’ on-going communication, feedback and efforts to encourage clients to postpone rather than cancel. The positive impact of this on business, people and conservation is far-reaching as you are aware.
Building on this principle, the Land & Life Foundation is committed to ensuring that local communities receive revenue and tangible benefits from tourism. Over the years since its inception in 2011 (initially as the C&P Community Trust), the Land & Life Foundation has achieved a great deal in ensuring that communities living in the vicinity of wildlife areas genuinely benefit from tourism.

The Land & Life Foundation is supported by the Elewana Collection and Cheli & Peacock Safaris.
