Kifaru House is named after the Swahili word for rhino, which is appropriate given its location on an escarpment in the middle of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which is home to East Africa’s healthiest rhino population. Not only was the lodge designed with the environment in mind, but there are also ongoing conservation projects.
Six spacious bedrooms with opulent four poster beds and generous en-suite bathrooms are housed in individual thatched bandas. Guests can gather in the welcoming main house to unwind with a fully stocked bar and two large fireplaces, or they can enjoy sundowners and dinner under the stars on the large comfortably furnished terrace. There is also a heated swimming pool with breathtaking views of the surrounding plains, which are teeming with wildlife and reach all the way to Mount Kenya.
Guests at Kifaru House are welcome to visit Lewa’s Joint Operations Centre to meet the tracker dog team that provides anti-poaching support throughout Northern Kenya, in addition to the usual activities such as game drives, walks, and community visits.
