Also on Lewa, but going under the title ‘Wilderness Trails’ is the family home of the Craigs, the guardians of Lewa. Will and Emma Craigh have been entertaining guests in considerable luxury for the past 30 years. The house will sleep 16 people, who are accommodated in charmingly presented cottages.
Guests can relax by the fire in Will and Emma's cosy sitting room and share meals around a long banquet table in the open-air dining room. Natural springs, home-raised livestock, and a 5-acre organic garden are transformed by skilled chefs into healthy and delicious food. The salt-water pool is refreshing, the stables are full of horses for guests to ride, and the clay tennis court comes equipped with both raquets and balls.
A professional guiding team leads guests on customized daily safaris and educates them about flora, fauna, animal behaviour, conservation, Lewa history, and more.
