Day 1
Nairobi – Lewa Downs Conservancy
We start your 3 Days Lewa Downs Conservancy Safari Tour by road to a legendary safari setting where the vast ecosystem plays host to the planet’s most awesome wildlife spectacle – Lewa Downs. On arrival we transfer to the Lewa Safari Camp, in the Lewa Downs Conservancy. The Lewa Safari tented camp consists of a central cedar wood cottage, housing the dining room, lounge and bar, while guest accommodation is in tents on raised platforms and under thatched roofs. Each tent has electric light, en-suite bathrooms and large double beds. The camp overlooks a floodlit waterhole. The afternoon brings a change of ecosystems as we drive through Kenya’s most protected area and home to species only found north of the equator, from the Reticulated Giraffe to Grevy’s zebras and Beisa Oryxes.

Common questions
How much does the 3 Days Lewa Downs Conservancy cost?
The 3 Days Lewa Downs Conservancy costs $800 per person. That price includes all park and conservancy entry fees, accommodation on the stated board basis, a licensed driver-guide, the 4x4 safari vehicle and fuel, and all game drives listed in the itinerary. International flights, visas, insurance, tips and personal items are not included.
How long is the 3 Days Lewa Downs Conservancy?
This itinerary runs 3 days, starting and ending in Nairobi. It is a private departure, so the dates are yours to choose and the pace can be adjusted. If you would like more or less time in Kenya Safari, we can rebuild the itinerary around that.
How many people will be in my safari vehicle?
Six at most, and that is a hard cap. Our Land Cruisers seat seven, so there is always a spare seat and every guest has a window and unobstructed access to the pop-up roof hatch. A fully private vehicle is available on any itinerary for a supplement.
When is the best time to do this Kenya Safari trip?
July to October is peak season, with the Mara River crossings and the best trekking weather, and it carries the highest rates. March to May is the long rains: green landscapes, newborn game, very few vehicles and the lowest prices of the year. January to February is dry, hot and excellent for general game viewing. There is no bad month, only months that suit different things.
How do I book, and what deposit is required?
Send an enquiry and we return a day-by-day itinerary with every cost itemised, usually within 24 hours. There is nothing to pay to get a quote. To confirm, we take a 30% deposit, with the balance due on arrival. Changes are free up to 30 days before departure and our full cancellation terms are published on the site.
