Our story at Lewa

I'm Sophie, and Lewa is my home. My children are the 5th generation of the family to live here. And it was my great grandfather who started conserving Lewa’s wildlife in the 1920’s.

My grandparents started tourism here in the 70’s, hosting people in their home. We do the same now, and what we love is witnessing how the wilderness and the wildlife touch people's lives.

Conservation in Action

Living within a UNESCO World Heritage Site offers rare insight into how the conservancy works to protect Kenya’s natural heritage. Lewa is world-renowned for its conservation and community programmes, and guests become part of this legacy the moment they arrive.

Our Family

For generations we have been dedicated to wildlife conservation and offering unique experiences in this part of Kenya.
My great-grandfather’s progressive approach to conservation and community laid the foundations of this legacy. Each generation has built upon it, and as the impact of humanity on the natural world grows, conservation and sustainable land use remain part of our daily lives.

A Network

Lewa has long been at the forefront of conservation in Kenya, guided by a simple belief passed down through generations.
- Alec Douglas, 1922

This was how my great-grandfather captured his philosophy.

A Relationship

People need nature — and nature, in turn, needs our care. By nurturing a positive relationship with the natural world, we strengthen our relationships with one another.

An Experience

An unforgettable place. A special adventure. Moments that stay with you long after you leave.
“Livin’ La Vida Lewa left us transformed from the inside out.”
