Wide, acacia-dotted Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in the heart of northern Kenya is a hauntingly beautiful place. So it's no wonder that this charismatic wilderness is home to Sirikoi, a family-run, award-winning lodge that's dedicated to its environment, the people who live here and those who visit it. Come to Lewa to see abundant wildlife – including endangered species such as black and white rhino and Grevy’s zebra – and stay in true colonial comfort with world-class fine dining, spacious and homely accommodation and congenial staff. The area is malaria free and has a beautiful spring-like climate almost all year.

Sirikoi has four luxury tented rooms, each with an indoor lounge and fireplace, and a seating area on the deck. The beds guarantee undisturbed sleep, and the full en-suite bathroom has a bath with a view. Sirikoi Cottage is designed for small groups, with two bedrooms, each fully en suite, and a shared central area and deck. Sirikoi House has a master-bedroom cottage, a separate two-bedroomed cottage, a central living and dining cottage and a private deck overlooking the wetlands.
Cantering across the landscape Lawrence of Arabia-style, on a camel. What a high to come face to face with the big creatures!
The nearby Ngare Ndare Forest hides a bluest-blue pool fed by an icy waterfall where you can take a plunge. Feeling daring? You can even jump from the top of the falls!
While Sirikoi isn't a predator hotspot, it makes up for it with populations of much rarer inhabitants like the Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe.
