The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a pioneer in wildlife preservation, which has gained a reputation for extending benefits of conservation beyond its borders.  Visitors have privileged access to a scenically spectacular area, densely populated with wildlife.  All income generated by the camp goes directly towards Lewa’s conservation and community projects. Lewa Wilderness is situated within one of Kenya’s major private conservation successes, Lewa Downs which is found at the foot of Mt Kenya.   Lewa Downs has been the Craig family home since 1924 when the Craigs came from England and began raising cattle here.  Lewa Wilderness is the original family home of the Craigs and is still home to Will and Emma Craig.

Lewa Downs has three extraordinary assets:

• Beautiful countryside, and as good a wildlife viewing as anywhere in Africa

• The endangered species – Rhino, both Black and White, Grevy’s Zebra, and Sitatunga

• A major commitment to community development and participation.
