About the camp

About Lewa Safari Camp.

Lewa Safari Camp is the only lodge on Lewa that the conservancy owns, so its profits go back into conservation and community work. Lewa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to more than 200 rhinos and the world's largest population of Grevy's zebra.

Guests stay in large tents with verandas and explore 65,000 acres of protected land.

When to go

The camp through the year.

March to April

Borana says its rains have usually come in March and April, as short, heavy showers. It adds that patterns are getting harder to predict.

May, June and October

Borana Lodge names these as favourite months, with clear, warm weather before the school holidays.

November

Borana's other usual rainy month, when storms can last longer, sometimes a whole day.
