  Mission Statement
  The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy works as a catalyst for the conservation of wildlife and its habitat.
It does this through the protection and management of species, the initiation and support of community conservation and development programmes, and the education of neighbouring areas in the value of wildlife.

Camel Safaris

Nothing ventured nothing gained, and a camel safari taking you through the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy with its abundant wildlife and their habitat is surely an experience of a lifetime.

Il Ngwesi, where a traditional way of life is in harmony with its wilderness and wildlife provides a cultural aspect and incredible scenery that will be a memory not to be forgotten. Further to the North the forested and watered mountains of the Mathew's Range dominates the vast arid area of some of the wildest and unspoiled wilderness of Kenya. The safari will take you through this area and beyond and will lift your spirits as only true adventure can.

Each safari is uniquely different depending on the route taken, and can be 3-14 days. The maximum number of people on each trip is 6 and each safari is exclusive to your group. Comfortable camping facilities, excellent cuisine and experienced guides will ensure your well being on your safari.

This is a walking safari but riding camels are available when the terrain allows. You do not need to be superbly fit, however a sense of adventure and a little resilience is all you need to enjoy your camel trip.

Most travelling is done in the cool of the morning, arriving in camp after 3 - 4 hour walk. Lunch and a rest in the heat of the day will recharge you for an early evening game walk and sundowner to watch the dusk creeping over the land. A hot shower, an evening around the campfire and a night under the stars with all the exciting sounds of an African night will complete your day.

What You Need to Bring
Cool bush clothes, a set of warm clothes, sweater, light rain coat, two pairs of comfortable walking shoes or boots, hat, sun cream, insect repellent and a water bottle all packed in a soft bag. You must have your own comprehensive travel insurance and please anticipate staff gratuities if you are happy with their services. Beer and wine are provided but bring any preferred spirits of liqueurs.
