Awash with deep earthy shades of green and gold, brown and
grey, Lewa is adorned with a serenity that is rare in an ever changing Kenya.
Lewa may truly be one of Kenya’s most unique and important wildlife
conservancies. It has also be said that Lewa is the new Mara, situated
on 62,000 acres of what must be some of the loveliest land in Africa, rests
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy home to the black and white rhino, cheetah, gravy
zebra, buffalo, lions, elephants and many other game. With its mix of acacia
forest, open grasslands, rich wetlands and rolling grassy hills, the
conservancy is not only breath taking, it is inspiring. Why so?, well there is
something spiritual about being in a somehow lonely, off the normal path, part of
the country where only the wind that sweeps the plains and the numerous and
diverse range of voices that rant the air, offer company and solace. Standing
in the middle of Lewa one feels a little closer to God and to creation in its
simplicity.
Unlike some of Kenya’s other scenic treasures that are home
to safari, Lewa offers something unique. There are only 6 visitor venues on the
entire 62,000 acres ( Sirikoi, Kifaru, Lewa House, Wilderness, Lewa Safari Camp
and Ngiri ), the conservancy has ensured that guests get a quintessential
safari experience. It has been said that 30 is the new 20 and grey is the new
black, I am not sure of this but one thing is certain, Kenya is incredibly
blessed to have such a special haven within our borders and such blessings need
to be nurtured and protected. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy offers top of the line
game viewing, terrific venues and best of all, that exclusive feeling of being
alone, deep in the heart of Africa. Don’t forget to include some few days stay
at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on your itinerary when visiting Kenya.
