The magic of Lewa, a wildlife conservancy

 Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.

 A 50 minute flight from Nairobi is all it took me to get to Lewa Downs. Should you choose the more scenic road trip option, the journey to Nanyuki will take you three hours. From Nanyuki, drive on the main road to Meru. You will pass through the beautiful Timau filled with picturesque views of wheat and flower farms.

The road peaks at Kisima farm and then gets steep downhill for a few kilometres. At the bottom of the valley you will see a main junction with huge advertising sign-boards above it. Turn left at this junction to the Isiolo Road (if you go straight ahead, you would end up in Meru). Follow this road for about three kilometres and then on your left you will see one of the Lewa gates; the Matunda Gate.
