Lewa House Kenya

Beauty of Simplicity

Set on top of a hill with extensive views of Mount Kenya, the rugged Mathews Range and the sacred mountain of Ol Olokwe, Lewa House is in the heart of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.

This owner-run property is home to Sophie and Calum Macfarlane and their family. With only ten rooms, Lewa house is very much designed to feel like a home away from home. The cottage style rooms are spread out along the hillside, all looking to the expanse of wilderness to the north. Beautiful, shaded gardens surround the house.
