SAFARI AT A GLANCE
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy covers 250 km² (25,000 hectares) in Meru County, bordering Laikipia to the west and Isiolo to the north, and forms part of the greater Laikipia ecosystem. Located mainly on the Laikipia Plateau at elevations above 1,500 metres, the conservancy enjoys breathtaking scenery, with the dramatic presence of Mount Kenya just 40 kilometres to the south creating a striking backdrop. This unique setting blends lush montane forests near the mountain’s foothills with open savannahs, arid grasslands, and sparse woodlands, giving Lewa its distinctive wild character. Renowned for its abundant wildlife and pioneering conservation efforts, Lewa is strategically fenced with wildlife corridors that allow free movement of animals between surrounding ecosystems, including the Samburu ecosystem to the north and the Borana Conservancy to the west, offering visitors an authentic, conservation-driven safari experience in one of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife destinations.
