Isiolo - Lewa Downs

 
Lewa Downs is a private conservation ranch at the foot of Mount Kenya. Lewa Downs has been in the Craig family since 1922 when the Craig grandparents came from England to raise cattle. Cattle are still farmed with the wildlife sanctuary as the main attraction.

Wildlife abounds at Lewa Downs including many endangered species such as the white and black rhinos. The perimeter is almost entirely fenced, for security and to ensure that elephants did not raid the crops of neighboring farms.

Other wildlife found at Lewa Downs includes elephants, giraffes, eland, oryx, buffalo, lion and leopards. Night drives are very popular for a chance to view all the nocturnal animals.
Address: Lewa Downs, Box 10607, Isiolo, North-Eastern , Kenya
