| INFORMATION
FOR VISITORS
Rain
Although there is some flexibility the rains in this part
of Kenya normally falls in April and in November.
During the rains the camps and lodges are closed during
these times;
1st of April to 1st of May and 21st of October
to the 1st of December.
During this rainy season we will not permit any traffic through Lewa. This
especially important for visitors who are driving to IlNgwesi and Tassia.
Clothing
Lewa is situated at 4,500 to 6,500 feet (1,400-2,000 meters) above sea level.
The days are usually hot and dry and the nights quite cool. Clothing should
be light for the day and warm for the evening game drives and sundowners followed
by the night game drive home. A windcheater or fleece is essential, as are
good walking shoes.
Due to its privileged location, Lewa is a low risk malaria
zone.
Vehicles
To preserve the wildlife natural environment and keep our
guests’ exclusive experience, minibuses are not permitted
within the Conservancy. All game drives are done in four
wheel drive vehicles provided by Lewa, or the selected
safari companies accompanied by Lewa’s trained guides.
Electricity
All the camps and lodges on Lewa are powered by 220V generators.
You will be able to charge your camera batteries without
any problems. The electric sockets are the British 3-pins
standards sockets.
How to get here
The simplest way of reaching Lewa is by flying direct from
Nairobi (Wilson Airport) with Safari Link for $212 (return) or $122 (single). For
more information about Safari Link flights see the Safarilink web site or email res@safarilink.co.ke
