Lewa Downs is a private wildlife conservancy in the Laikipia area of Northern Kenya. Wilderness trails offers luxurious and homely holiday accommodation and wildlife densities second only to the Maasai Mara in  Kenya. All of Africa’s ‘Big Five’ are present and the conservancy provides a refuge for several endangered species, including cheetah, Grevys Zebra and both black and white rhino.

The romantic location of Lewa Downs in the shadow of Mount Kenya was chosen by Britain's Prince William as the ideal place to make his successful proposal of marriage to Kate Middleton.

Lewa Downs is owned by the Craig family and Wilderness Trails is their family home. Wilderness Trails accommodates guests in 8 comfortable thatched cottages with en-suite bathrooms and a large veranda.

Lewa is one of Africa’s conservation success stories and the game viewing here is excellent, with species including lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe and the elusive sitatunga. Wilderness Trails offer a wide range of safari activities, all customized to suit individual guests. Game drives, camel safaris, bush walks, staking out the leopard hide and visits to the nearby Samburu village are all possible. In camp there is a swimming pool, stables full of horses for guests to ride and clay tennis courts.
