Where the light shines bright

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.
