Lewa Safari Camp by Elewana
Ranked in Best Safari Lodges in Laikipia
About
Chef Stephen's food is the best some guests have had in Kenya, and that's saying something when you're also seeing black and white rhinos on game drives. The staff remember your name, your guide stays calm even when elephants are close, and every detail from pickup to check-in is handled. This is safari done right.

Easily one of the most special places on earth. Every second and every detail—from the moment they pick you up until they drop you off and check you in for your flight—is, dare I say, perfect. The food, the amenities, the safaris, the entire staff... no notes. I can’t think of a better safari experience in East Africa. Our experience at Lewa Safari Camp will stay with us forever.

Our stay at Lewa Safari Camp was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The camp itself blends comfort with authenticity, offering warm hospitality and breathtaking views of the conservancy. The game drives were extraordinary — seeing endangered black and white rhinos, herds of elephants, and even lions against the backdrop of Mount Kenya was something we will never forget. What made it even more special was the sense of purpose that comes with visiting Lewa, knowing that conservation and local communities are at the heart of everything they do. Sundowners in the bush, the serenity of the night skies, and the genuine care of the staff created memories we will carry with me forever. Lewa Safari Camp is not just a place to stay, but a truly transformative experience that connects you to nature in the most meaningful way.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Lewa Safari Camp. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by a smiling team and scented towels we were treated to a level of service that we have never experienced before. It really is a 5* hotel, with thoughtfulness in every detail. What made our stay so special was the team who looked after us. Always friendly and helpful and obviously passionate about delivering the best possible experience for their guests. A special mention to the excellent chef for the incredible fine dining dishes and the most delicious gluten free food I have ever had. Finally, our guide, Peter, really made our stay so memorable. He was warm and friendly and ensured we saw everything we’d hoped to see (including 2 leopards!). His extensive knowledge meant we learnt so much about the animals and the work of the conservancy to protect both them and the local community. His calm approach made us feel safe at all times, even on the crazy tracks in the forest! We had the most incredible experience and everything was perfect, thank you to all the team!

I had a fantastic stay. It was the total experience and a wonderful one. Collin’s and his team are friendly, helpful and proactive. Alex as our guide was very informative and calm as he took us around. Chef Stephen is an amazing talent. His food is the best I have had in Kenya. Ruth, our butler and Jen, our tent stewart were very helpful and accommodating. Truly enjoyed our memorable stay at Elewana Lewa Safari Camp. Thank you!
