Lewa Safari Camp by Elewana

I had a fantastic stay. It was the total experience and a wonderful one. Collin’s and his team are friendly, helpful and proactive. Alex as our guide was very informative and calm as he took us around. Chef Stephen is an amazing talent. His food is the best I have had in Kenya. Ruth, our butler and Jen, our tent stewart were very helpful and accommodating. Truly enjoyed our memorable stay at Elewana Lewa Safari Camp. Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our 3 night stay from the moment we arrived. Our driver George picked us up from the airstrip and our adventure began with an amazing game drive on our way to the camp. We were greeted by Colins and the camp staff and our first night of the safari trip was amazing. The chef greeted us to consult with us on our dietary preferences and prepared delicious meals. We had many memorable game drives and bush breakfasts with our guide, George. He is extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed his company the entire stay. We also took advantage of their spa after our morning game drive and highly recommend their massage. If Kenya is your safari destination. I highly recommend staying at Elewana Lewa Safari Camp inside the conversancy!

On arrival I was impressed by the beauty of the grounds, all the birds singing in the trees, the lawns and landscaping around the central dining/relaxation/bar area. Not far down a shady path was our beautiful and private tent/cabin, with polished wood floors that extended to a terrace with a beautiful view of distant hills. An occasional dik-dik shared the path, to our delight. Game drives in this region were wonderful - if you like rhinos, herds of eland and impala, oryx, zebras of all stripes, elephants and blue-necked Somali ostriches. And lions and leopards too. The landscape is impressive with rolling green/gold hills, creek valleys with tropical plants, and views of Mount Kenya in the distance. Things are very spread out -- including the camp's cabins - some would be too far for someone with bad knees - so specify if you need something close to the lodge center. Food was very good and staff were attentive and gracious. Pool area was inviting. I won't forget the post-sundown elephant "traffic jam". A surprise bush breakfast was one of many highlights -- and SO very delicious!

Lewa was the first stop on our safari trip and it was amazing from the start. Our guide George met us at the airstrip and we did a game drive to the camp, seeing so many animals along the way. George was a fabulous guide and knew just where to look to find wildlife in a close up yet always respectful way. You are able to get so close to the animals. We always felt safe. Lewa is uncrowded as there are only 5 camps in the entire conservancy, which we did not realize how special this was until we got to the Masai Mara and Serengeti, where you see many other vehicles. The camp itself was wonderful, the staff, lead by Collins and Linda were so welcoming and the food was fabulous and plentiful at each meal, with visits from the chef to check our preferences for the next meal. We were treated so nicely the entire time. I would not hesitate to return to Lewa and Elewana.

Great place to see lions and rhinos. Great place and service! Ruth had great customer service skills and made our stay awesome. Meat was little dry at dinner; lunch and breakfasts were delicious. Really loved all the fresh fruit, veggies, and seeds/nuts incorporated throughout meals. We loved the bush breakfast. Morris kept room nicely clean; thank you. The hot water for the showers was impressively hot. Great internet and beds too. Loved our massages! Keen was very welcoming. Nice to have towels after safari trip. Mish was a very informative and knowledgeable guide.

Of the 5 places we visited in Kenya on this trip - all excellent - Lewa was our absolute favorite! The accommodations, the food, the views -and most especially the people - were amazing. My eyes leaked when we left. And I should note - I once lived in Kenya for 10 years, and I have been to many, many camps. Lewa Safari Camp is, without question, where I left my heart!

My wife and I had an amazing time at Lewa. This was the first stop on our honeymoon safari, and everything from our guide, to the staff, and the food that was served was phenomenal. We cannot recommend Lewa enough. Wilson (our guide) and Maxwell (our waiter) were exceptional. Thank you for a great stay!

Our stay at Elewana was so amazing that we wanted to cancel the rest of our vacation plans and just stay for the remaining holiday. Our guide George was absolutely amazing and informative. Ruth was also so kind and an excellent server for our meals. The food was INCREDIBLE and they made amazing accommodations for my brother who has nut allergies which we were so grateful for.
