Lewa House Kenya

Lewa House Kenya sits on top of a hill with an engaging panoramic view of the rolling landscape of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It overlooks the luggas (valleys) and hills of the Laikipia County, with the horizon rising to the eye-catching views of the Mathews range and the sacred mountain of the Samburu, Ol Lolokwe.

The accommodation at Lewa House is in the form of cottage-style rooms spread out along the hillside, all looking to the expanse of wilderness to the north. There are three original thatched family cottages, each comprising two en-suite rooms and a large shared veranda. The four recently added single-room cottages are built with sustainable, ecological principles in mind whilst still exceptionally comfortable and spacious, with beautiful views across the surrounding landscape.

The heart of Lewa House is a large elegant building with an open fireplace, where at one end, guests can relax during the day and mingle with a drink before dinner. The other end offers a large family dining table where the evening meals are served, hosted by Calum and Sophie Macfarlane.

There is a large shaded verandah extending away from the main house with a comfortable seating area from which you can enjoy a relaxed afternoon drink and soak in the exceptional atmosphere of Lewa House.

Beautiful shaded gardens surround the house, and breakfast or lunch on the lawn is a special treat. The house also has a large swimming pool that overlooks a waterhole providing some of the best game viewings on Lewa!

Activities here are plentiful, and you'll be spoilt for choice and never bored! Lewa Wildlife Conservancy has excellent game-viewing with a great chance of seeing white and black rhino and Grevy's zebra. All Lewa House Kenya safari guides are at least qualified with the Bronze qualification certified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association and have a natural passion for the flora and fauna of Kenya and the biome within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The guides are all incredibly knowledgeable and happy to accommodate any particular interests you may have – wildlife, cultural or historical.

Other activities which can be arranged are bush walking (weather and local conditions dependant) and, at extra cost, horse-riding (for both beginners and experienced riders). Forest walks in the nearby Ngare Ndare forest, where there is a beautiful waterfall pool to swim in, fishing, fly camping, and other adventurous excursions can be arranged. Massages are also available. Increasingly popular are helicopter 1/2 day adventures. While not cheap, they allow guests to see more of Kenya, appreciate its beauty and sheer size, and, of course, eye up Mount Kenya.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
