A Warm and Wild Safari Experience in Lewa Conservancy
Lewa Conservancy, Kenya
Set within the wildlife-rich Lewa Wildlife Conservancy beneath Mount Kenya, Sirikoi is one of our favourite safari lodges in Kenya. During Kyle and Leah’s recent stay, what stood out most was the warmth of the team, the beautiful landscape, and the exceptional rhino sightings that Lewa is known for.
Centred around Sirikoi’s wetlands and spring-fed stream, the lodge attracts elephant, zebra, birdlife, and the region’s distinctive reticulated giraffe throughout the day, creating a safari experience that feels natural and deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness.
Accommodation includes four elegant Luxury Tents, Sirikoi Cottage, and the exclusive-use Sirikoi House, all designed using earthy tones and natural textures that blend beautifully into the landscape. Guests also enjoy a private safari vehicle and guide per booking, allowing for a more flexible and personalised safari experience.
Highlights and Activities at Sirikoi:
ROOMS: 9 luxury tents, one two bedroom cottage, and Sirikoi House (perfect for larger groups)

Why We Love Sirikoi
What stands out most to us is the balance Sirikoi achieves. The lodge feels refined without ever becoming pretentious, while the warmth of the team creates an atmosphere that is both relaxed and deeply personal. Combined with some of Kenya’s best rhino viewing and one of the widest activity selections in Lewa Conservancy, Sirikoi offers far more than a traditional safari experience.
One of Leah’s favourite experiences at Sirikoi was the behind-the-scenes garden tour. Reflecting on the experience, she said: “Seeing all the fruits and vegetables they grow, and learning about the techniques they use to keep seasonal produce thriving throughout the year, was truly eye-opening.”
It gave us an even greater appreciation for Sirikoi’s farm-to-table dining philosophy. We loved discovering this often-overlooked side of the lodge, and it is something we would highly recommend making time for during your stay.
Insider Tip: If rhino sightings are high on your safari wish list, Lewa Conservancy is one of the destinations Kyle would most strongly recommend in Kenya. The combination of conservation success, beautiful landscapes, and excellent guiding makes sightings here feel incredibly meaningful.
