Moonlight Tours Expedition – Luxury Safari Experience at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, one of Africa’s foremost conservation success stories. Once a private cattle ranch, Lewa has evolved into a leading sanctuary for wildlife and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renowned for its healthy populations of both black and white rhinos, it is also a prime example of collaborative conservation, where local tribal communities play a vital role in preserving the land and its wildlife.

Nestled within this vast and unspoiled wilderness—larger than San Francisco—lies Kifaru House, an exclusive, luxury lodge that offers an unparalleled safari experience. Surrounded by lush lawns and serenaded by native birdlife, the lodge offers sweeping views of the Lewa plains and a frequently visited waterhole, providing guests with the perfect setting for an unforgettable escape into nature.

Guided Wildlife Encounters

At Kifaru House, guests are guided by certified experts who come from the neighboring communities of Lewa and have intimate knowledge of the land and its wildlife. All guides are certified at Bronze or Silver level by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association and are passionate about sharing their deep connection to the conservancy's iconic species, including lions, cheetahs, and rhinos.

On exhilarating game drives, guests have the opportunity to spot the Big 5, including elephants, lions, buffalo, and leopards, as well as the endangered Grevy’s zebra, all set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kenya’s snow-capped peaks. The guides provide an in-depth understanding of the wildlife and their natural habitats, ensuring an exceptional and enriching safari experience.

Walking Safaris and Conservation Engagement

For those seeking a more immersive connection with nature, Kifaru House offers guided walking safaris led by expert Samburu rangers, who possess unique knowledge of rhino conservation efforts.

The lodge also offers a variety of activities, including horseback riding and camel trekking, allowing guests to explore the conservancy's vast landscape from a unique perspective.
