Situated on the northern foothills of Mount Kenya and with the magnificent Northern Frontier District stretching out to the North, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is an outstanding tourist destination, offering spectacular scenery, superb game viewing and exciting activities for the discerning traveller. With wildlife densities as high as anywhere in Africa, it is possible to see all of Africa's Big Five on Lewa, and the Conservancy provides a refuge for several endangered species.
The Conservancy, formerly a working cattle ranch and otherwise known as Lewa Downs, is a pioneer in wildlife preservation, which has gained a reputation for extending benefits of conservation beyond its borders. It has been in the Craig family since 1924. Three generations of the family continue to be involved in daily operations on Lewa. All income generated by the camps goes directly towards Lewa's conservation and community projects.
