The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a 62,000 acre wildlife sanctuary situated on the northern slopes of Mount Kenya consisting of five very diverse ecosystems - open savannah, acacia forest, rocky gorges and ravines, mountain forest and the Lewa swamp. This wonderful diversity all combines to support many different species of birds and mammals. It is also home to an ever increasing population of reticulated giraffe, a quarter of the world’s remaining Grevy’s zebra population and a pack of elusive wild dogs. At night leopard are frequently encountered along with bush babies, aardvarks, bat-eared foxes, caracal and various mongooses, genets and civets. The safari experience at Lewa Downs is a unique combination of hospitality, spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.
