The non-profit Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a 45,000 acre private ranch, that encompasses the Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary. The ranch has belonged to the Craig family since 1924. There is abundant wildlife, including the big five and Kenya’s northern species of game which includes: reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Grevy’s zebra and other wildlife seldom found south of the equator. Enjoy night game drives, horseback riding, camel safaris, village visits, and wildlife walks escorted by Maasai trackers.
Wilderness trails is set in the north east corner of the reserve, and only accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in its 8 luxury cottages. Guests can relax by the fire in Will and Emma’s cozy living room and share meals around a long banquet table in the open-air dining room. Natural springs, home-raised livestock, and a 5-acre organic garden are transformed by skilled chefs into wonderful meals. Wilderness also has a salt-water pool, stables full of horses and a clay tennis court.
After checking in to your cottage and enjoying lunch, you’ll have time to relax and take a swim. Enjoy afternoon tea, and then it’s time to be introduced to the horses before setting out on a late afternoon ride. Your first ride will last for two hours until sunset, then its time to stop for a sundowner in the middle of the bush before enjoying a short game drive by vehicle, back to camp in time for dinner (horses will be taken home before dark).
