Elewana Lewa Safari Camp

Lewa was the first stop on our safari trip and it was amazing from the start. Our guide George met us at the airstrip and we did a game drive to the camp, seeing so many animals along the way. George was a fabulous guide and knew just where to look to find wildlife in a close up yet always respectful way. You are able to get so close to the animals. We always felt safe. Lewa is uncrowded as there are only 5 camps in the entire conservancy, which we did not realize how special this was until we got to the Masai Mara and Serengeti, where you see many other vehicles. The camp itself was wonderful, the staff, lead by Collins and Linda were so welcoming and the food was fabulous and plentiful at each meal, with visits from the chef to check our preferences for the next meal. We were treated so nicely the entire time. I would not hesitate to return to Lewa and Elewana.

Kenya is beautiful, we try to visit new places whenever we get a chance, have visited many parks and experienced different lodges, but hands down, this was by far the best experience we've had. The attention to personal detail is what sets Lewa safari camp apart from others. All the staff we came in contact with were extremely friendly and accommodating. Ruth, Keen, Chef Masudi , Morris and our guide Abdul. We learnt so much from Abdul. Kudos to the whole team and to Lewa for the work that you're doing in conserving our heritage and wildlife. My girls didn't want to leave!

My first time to Kenya and Lewa Safari Canp exceeded my expectations. From the comfort and privacy of my tent to the outstanding hospitality to the gorgeous grounds. It culminated into an extraordinary experience. Being vegan I was unsure how the food would be. I was blown away. Best food ever - and so much of it! Abdul was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and the wildlife was in great abundance on all the drives. What an amazing place. Thank you again and hope to return soon!

An absolutely stunning camp in the wonderful Lewa Conservancy. The staff here are incredible. I would like to give a special shoutout to my guide Peter who was extremely knowledgeable and tailored the safari to focus on black rhinos (my favorite animal that I came here to see). He found so many of them in addition to many other species including 3 separate leopard sightings! Joy was our apprentice guide and she was equally fantastic. All of the staff here were so friendly and make you feel like you are home. Agnes was our server and she was absolutely amazing! Keen and Linda were the most welcoming hosts. The food here was very delicious and healthy prepared by Shore the most amazing chef! Titus the bartender made the best drinks. The pool was especially relaxing during the rest period between AM and evening game drives. The property is beautiful and the rooms were especially comfortable and clean thanks to the amazing Lydia, our room attendant. There was absolutely nothing bad about our stay and I would 11/10 recommend this camp if planning any trip to Africa. I would come back again and again!

Lewa Safari Camp with Elewana exceeded all of our expectations, delivering an unforgettable experience. The tent accommodations were beautiful and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury. One of the highlights of each day was the wake-up call with cappuccinos and biscuits delivered directly to our tent—a perfect start before embarking on a morning game drive. Our guide, George, was phenomenal. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem added so much to the experience, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had incredible sightings. We were fortunate to enjoy unforgettable moments with elephants, rhinos, lions, a leopard and small herds of the endangered Grevy’s zebra. The quiet, close encounters—often without any other vehicles nearby—made it feel like we had the place to ourselves. George knew just where to place the Land Cruiser for the perfect view. Starting with our drive from the airport, Lewa Downs, we were immediately immersed in the wild life. We saw all the big five within our first two days. George made every game drive memorable. His eyesight is phenomenal, spotting animals at great distances and then getting us upclose to them. The culinary team was outstanding. I have extensive food allergies, and the chefs went out of their way to accommodate me, creating delicious meals that made me feel entirely safe and cared for. From surprise bush breakfasts to sundowners. Every meal was an experience in itself. Our personal tent valet, Freddy, was attentive and always a step ahead, ensuring our stay was seamless and comfortable. Glynn and Keen, who facilitate and manage the camp, clearly run a tight ship and create an atmosphere of warm hospitality and professionalism. Every staff member we encountered was delightful and committed to making our stay unforgettable. We cannot thank the team enough for their exceptional service, knowledge, and kindness. Lewa Safari Camp is a true gem, and we hope to return someday!
