Sirikoi Lodge

Lewa Conservancy has its roots in the Craig family who have farmed here with the philosophy that there would always be room for wildlife.  As the plight of the black rhino became desperate in Africa, the ranch was converted into a rhino sanctuary and today Lewa spans 61,000 acres, and is home to over 11 percent of Kenya’s black rhino population, and over 14 percent of Kenya’s white rhino population and the world’s largest single population of Grevy’s zebra. 

 

With its proven track record, the Lewa model of community-based conservation development is being spearheaded across northern Kenya, and emulated by other East African conservation organizations.  In late June 2013, the World Heritage Committee extended the boundaries of the Mount Kenya World Heritage Site to include Lewa and Ngare Ndare Forest.

 

Sirikoi is on par with Sabora in Singita Grumeti Reserves in Tanzania, with the added attraction of the Cottage, which is the best accommodation, and the House which is more private and self contained.

-          Managed by the Roberts Family (Andrew and Caragh).

-          Set overlooking an Oasis which attracts prolific game, including the Big 5. The game is very close to you at meal times, which are taken on the lawns under trees bordering the Oasis.

-          Despite the proximity of so much wildlife, Sirikoi is not fenced, although there is an unobtrusive elephant wire.

-          In the Main Area there is a lounge (luxurious and huge), bar and dining tables, inside and al fresco

-          Communal dining, with separate tables an option.

-          Large pool on lawns with sunbeds

-          Boutique

-          Free Wifi, with reception in most areas

-          Solar energy and 24/7 power and hot water

-          Game drives by open sided vehicles

-          Huge and impressive fruit and vegetable garden

-          The airstrip is within a 3o minutes game drive.

-          4 luxury spacious tents on platforms with a private verandah overlooking the Oasis. Each tent extends to a permanent solid built and very spacious bathroom. Victorian stand alone bath tub and a very efficient walk-in shower. His and Hers basins, and a wc.

-          Each tent comes with a fireplace, and the fire is lit each evening, unless you request it not to be.

-          Safe

-          There are also 2 fly tents with the same facilities, except that the bathroom is not permanent. These are often used as guides’ tents.

-          The 2 bedroom cottage has a very large lounge, with TV and DVD, fireplace and a kitchen, and the option to dine on the terrace.

-          This cottage is on the opposite side of the main lounge, bar and dining area to the tents.

-          Sirikoi House is beyond the Cottage, and the location is quite private and is tucked away in a quiet corner.

-          3 bedrooms, all similar with en suite, bath tub with hand shower, walk-in shower, His and Hers basins, wc. There is also an outside shower.
