Nestled comfortably within the northern foothills of Mount Kenya, Lewa Safari Camp looks out across one of the lushest vistas in northern Kenya - and one of the most successful wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The game here is outstanding with white and black rhino and an abundance of other animals. This is a truly authentic safari camp; your days will be spent on game drives, night drives, bush walks, lion tracking and game viewing from hides. Your hosts Sean and Judy-Anne Hartley and their three dogs Dino, Pepper and Candy will make sure you receive a superb welcome. When not enjoying the excitement and exhilaration of a game drive, you can relax by the swimming pool in the delightful gardens or in the seclusion of your own private veranda outside your tent.
