  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.

Lake Rutundu Log Cabins

The Lake Rutundu Log Cabins are situated in a remarkable setting on Mount Kenya. This is an unusual opportunity of fly fishing for rainbow trout at a height of 10,000 ft.

The cabins are built in the original style of log cabins with moss filling the gaps between the logs and bitumen on the roof.

Sheepskin rugs and open fires ensure a cosy warm atmosphere at night.  Two cabins sleep four people comfortably but there is room for more. Hot water is heated in kuni (wood) boosters using old heather roots for fuel.

Fishing

The main attraction of Lake Rutundu is the fact that is privately stocked with rainbow trout. The staff at the Cabins are also trained gillies and using barbless hooks and a rowing boat, many hours can be spent trying your luck in perfect tranquil conditions.

No previous fishing experience is necessary and in fact many visitors come purely to enjoy the unique mountain scenery.

Extraordinary walks and additional fishing on the stunning Lake Alice at 12,200 feet make this trip a worthwhile and memorable experience.

RIDING

You can now also ride to Rutundu. The ride starts from Kisima Farm, (neighboring Lewa on its southern side) and the ride to Rutundu will take about 4-5 hours. The horses are polo-horses and are trained on high altitude.

For more information about the riding please contact Sara Spendrup sara@lewa.org
