A Classic Laikipia Safari with a Strong Conservation Heart
Lewa Conservancy, Kenya
Overlooking sweeping valleys and savannah-covered hills within the spectacular Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Lewa House is one of our favourite safari retreats in Kenya.
We love the inviting atmosphere of the lodge. From its cosy, classically styled interiors to its warm, attentive hospitality, Lewa House consistently delivers a relaxed and welcoming safari experience.
Accommodation includes rustic thatched cottages, ideal for families, with two ensuite bedrooms and a spacious veranda. These cottages sleep up to four guests and also suit honeymooners or couples seeking added privacy. For couples, the four Earthpods offer a more secluded stay. Designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, these pods sleep two guests and are built using sustainable principles, with thoughtful furnishings and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom.
Dining is relaxed and varied, with meals served on manicured lawns or out in the wilderness. Between activities, guests can unwind at the swimming pool while taking in expansive views. Lewa House also offers a broad range of experiences, including game drives, walking safaris, cultural and conservation activities, as well as camel and horseback riding.

Why We Love Lewa House
Lewa House offers one of the most well-rounded safari experiences in Kenya. It combines outstanding wildlife viewing with meaningful conservation access and a rare range of activities that go far beyond the vehicle. The lodge’s relaxed, personal atmosphere makes it especially appealing for families and return safari travellers who want depth, variety, and authenticity rather than formality.
Insider Tip: Make time for at least one non-driving activity. Whether it’s a camel walk, conservation visit, or helicopter flight, these experiences add valuable context to Lewa’s wildlife story and set this conservancy apart from the Masai Mara.
