Kifaru House offers you the opportunity to enjoy Lewa’s varied wildlife from its prime position high on a hill overlooking the conservancy. You can do day and night game drives, and can access some of our favourite hikes from here.
The heart of the “house” is the spacious central buildng split into a dining and sitting area with a large fireplace at each end. There is a very good library. The heated infinity swimming pool has spectacular views across the conservancy. There is a small pool house with sitting, dining and bar area, massage rooms and shower facilities.
Five beautifully appointed thatched cottages with 6 bedrooms stretch along the curve of the hillside. Cottage one has two adjoining bedrooms that are ideal for children or families as it is closest to the main living area. Five rooms are set up as double rooms but an extra bed can be added in to make it a twin or triple.
About This Area
Lewa Conservancy is a 45,000-acre private conservancy that sits high on a 6000 foot plateau between the slopes of Mt Kenya and the dry arid deserts to the north. The scenery is spectacular with a lovely rolling landscape, big skies and rarified air. The wildlife is diverse and includes some of the species that are endemic to northern Kenya such a Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk. It is also a Rhino conservation area and there are good numbers of both black and white rhino.
We love Lewa for the diversified game drives, fantastic hikes, and great variety and freedom. In addition, due to its location we can access areas of great interest outside the private conservancy such as the forests of Mt Kenya, Nagare Ndare’s magical Blue pools (both recognized as part of the UNESCO designated Mount Kenya World Heritage Site ), and the vast northern frontier district. Lewa has an excellent and unique relationship with its neighbouring communities, allowing for great opportunities to visit some of the local villages and schools to get a feel for their customs and culture.
