At the foot of Mt Kenya, Lewa Downs safari has been the Craig family home since 1924 when the Craig grandparents came from England and began raising cattle here. It was then established as a black rhino sanctuary in the early 80s. Hailed as one of Kenya's biggest conservation successes, the Lewa Downs safari is committed to the conservation of wildlife and diverse habitats found on the northern slopes of Mt Kenya. Endangered species abound, ranging from the Grevy's zebra to Sitatunga and oryx. From Lewa the rolling red hills spread north with long ranging vistas as far as the eye can see.
