Well-rounded and reliable
A great little property, one of my favourites in the park. With the full range of Lewa’s activities on offer and great views straight from camp, Lewa House offers an amazing all-round Lewa experience. Very good indeed.

Game viewing here is very good, with guests being very likely to see elephant and rhino on numerous occasions. Head out on game drives with knowledgeable guides.
Guests can also go on a game walk with Calum, one of the owners. He is a fully qualified trails guide, and a game walk is a great alternative way to view wildlife.
Other activities at Lewa include camel and horse riding, tours of the back of house and farm areas.
Embark on a flight on a bi-plane, flown by the owner’s uncle. This is an amazing way to view Africa from the air, providing a truly memorable experience!
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Thanks to the family feel of Lewa House, service is very good.
The relaxed and friendly atmosphere means that guests feel at home instantly. Cooking staff are very happy to cater for specific dietary requirements, as long as they are told in advance. The food here is incredible – some say the best in Kenya!
The main building, complete with a thatched roof, includes a living room and terrace that acts as a reception area. The dining room forms the heart of the house. With a cozy log fire and a very relaxed atmosphere, it is an ideal location for sitting and chilling out after a long day of activities! Lewa House boasts its own garden (fully fenced to keep the elephants from stealing the food!) filled with fresh, nutritious ingredients that are used in the meals. Guests may also enjoy the free-form swimming pool, said to be the warmest in Lewa due to its insulation.

Accommodation at Lewa House consists of two very distinct categories.
There are three family cottages that sleep four in total – with the option of twin or double beds. These homely cottages also include two en-suites, showers, and a veranda. If you are traveling in a large group, the cottages are available to book with the whole property on an exclusive basis. Lewa House’s other form of accommodation is the ‘earth pods’. Designed by the owner’s dad, they have everything you need – but in one room! The pods sleep two or three people each. They also come with a small living area and a beautiful, large veranda! All pods have luxurious bathrooms including walk-in showers, but three have outdoor bath tubs too – where guests can enjoy a bath whilst watching wildlife!
