Lewa Safari Camp

the best value option on this famous private reserve

Lewa Safari Camp is located in the Lewa Downs area of northcentral Kenya.

Further on through the gardens there is a large pool area, with further outside dining and relaxation areas.

Laikipia South tends to feature in a relatively small proportion of trips, since most of our guests tend to head to the wilder areas further north, namely Laikipia South, Samburu and the Mathew’s Range. But this area can work, especially for guests interested in rhinos and horse-back safari.

The usual stay duration is 3-4 nights in one lodge.

Seasonality

The best time of year to visit Laikipia South is generally considered to be the Jun-Oct dry season, but there are very good reasons to visit during other months.

Getting there

The Laikipia South area is most commonly accessed by scheduled flight from Nairobi into the airport at Nanyuki, or by light aircraft direct into bush airstrips close to a specific camp.

It is also possible to connect by road with the Lake Naivasha area of the Rift Valley and with lodges in the Lewa Downs, Borana, Samburu, Laikipia North and Mathews Range areas, further to the east and north.
