Kenya

Situated on the northern foothills of Mount Kenya, this Kenya lodging is set on the 45, 000 acre privately owned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Lewa Downs. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a pioneer in wildlife preservation, which has gained a reputation for extending benefits of conservation beyond its borders.

There are day and night game drives, bush walks, sundowners, educational talks on the history and day to day operation of the conservancy, visits to a pre-historic archaeological site and game blinds on this Kenya vacation. Bird enthusiasts can marvel at more than four hundred identified bird species, some rare, others abundant, it's very beautiful.

Additional Activities

• Guided tours by air of the Conservancy and Mount Kenya with a stop for trout fishing in a high-altitude lake.

Each of the cottages has a private verandah where guests can sit in the cool of the evening to enjoy the starlit African skies.
