Lewa Sirikoi Lodge

Lewa Sirikoi Lodge is a jewel in the crown of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, an intimate retreat where luxury meets the raw beauty of northern Kenya’s landscapes. Situated on a 28 square kilometer private section, this lodge offers a rare blend of high-end comfort and an authentic safari experience. Owned by Sue and the late Willie Roberts, Sirikoi isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a commitment to conservation, evident in its numerous accolades, including the prestigious Ecotourism Kenya’s Eco-rated Lodge of the Year in 2015.

The lodge’s location by a natural spring near a bustling waterhole provides guests with front-row seats to the daily life of the savannah’s inhabitants. Here, the morning might start with the sight of elephants or the distant roar of a lion, all while you’re cocooned in the comfort of wood-and-stone structures under charming thatched roofs.

With its limited number of rooms, Sirikoi ensures an exclusive experience where each guest becomes part of the extended family, sharing in the beauty and conservation ethos of Lewa. The design of the lodge respects the landscape, using natural materials to create spaces that feel both at home in nature and luxurious.
