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.

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
