"Known for camel safaris led by Maasai herders across green grasslands in northern Kenya, offering close cultural interaction alongside wildlife-viewing experiences." - Nicholas DeRenzo
"Quad Biking in Lewa Lewa conservancy in the north of Kenya offers quad biking safaris along their game trails, although for an extra-special experience you can be helicoptered to an even more remote and stunning start point. A day can be booked when you stay at Sirikoi camp, and includes breakfast and refreshments. When the heat gets too much bikers stop off at one of the nearby pools, which are naturally filled with icy water fresh from the slopes of Mt Kenya."
Tony and Kamau visited this conservancy to view the animals. They saw a giraffe, termite mounds, zebras, an ostrich, an elephant, a rhino, and some lions. They then had a breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast with Mike Watson, CEO of the conservancy; Faith Riunga, education officer of the conservancy; Wanjiku Kinuthia, communications officer of the conservancy; Tom Lalampaa, CEO of Northern Rangelands Trust.
"Lewa Wilderness was the first camp in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to add an electric vehicle to its fleet, offering visitors all-electric safaris. The camp is following the trend towards sustainability and eco-friendly tourism." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A safari conservancy focused on protecting endangered species such as elephants and rhinos while offering immersive wildlife encounters alongside cultural experiences with local communities. Visits combine conservation work and game drives with opportunities to meet Maasai villagers, witness traditional ceremonies (including a blood‑letting rite), and sample local beverages made from cow’s blood mixed with milk. The trip described included riding an elephant (prompting a memorable remark about the sensation of sitting atop one), watching community dancing as rain began, and learning firsthand about the conservancy’s efforts to safeguard species and support surrounding communities." - Greg Morabito
