Overview

Lewa Wilderness is one of Kenya’s oldest and most private safari ventures. The Craig family has passed down from one generation to the next a distinct passion for wildlife, conservation and tourism, and they proudly continue to run Lewa Wilderness lodge and Walking Wild camel safaris. 

This place is as much a home as it is a truly unique and personal safari experience. The lodge is just nine exclusive rooms: six cottages tucked into the hillside overlooking Lewa’s Eastern Marania Valley, plus three garden cottages set amidst the beautiful green lawns. At Lewa Wilderness, game viewing is not just done by vehicle. Activities on offer include guided walks, scenic flights, horse back riding for all abilities, fly camping, camel riding, and much more!

The BBC ask if electric vehicles could be the future for Kenyan travel?

East Africa’s First Electric Safari Car lands at Lewa Wilderness. The best way to view the Big Five is…quietly. Lewa Wilderness lodge in Kenya has taken that to the next level by bringing East Africa’s first electric-powered safari car to the savannah grasslands in the shadow of Mount Kenya. Rare black rhino looked on with little more than curiosity as the silent safari vehicle crept up on them. A pride of lions barely blinked as the tourist cameras clicked above the gentle hum of the engine.
