Lewa Wilderness - Lewa Downs Northern Kenya



For 40 years guests have been visiting Lewa.

Situated on the northern slopes of Mt Kenya, the Lewa Downs Ranch has been the Craig family home since 1924 when the grandparents came from England and began raising cattle here. Lewa Wilderness is one of the original family homes and is still home to your hosts Will and Emma Craig. Today Lewa Downs has 3 extraordinary assets - beautiful countryside, excellent gameviewing (including the endangered species - rhino, grevy's zebra & sitatunga) and the major commitment to community development and participation.

The passion for adventure and conservation has continued over the four decades and Lewa has become Kenya's leading model for conservation on private land, and a leading catalyst for conservation and its direct benefits to communities.
