We spent three nights in Nanyuki, in order to write a great review of Lewa Safari Camp Nanyuki in the Mount Kenya area of Kenya.
All though our stay at Lewa Safari Camp, service was attentive and very friendly. The food, atmosphere and staff are unparalleled.
At Lewa, the common lounge area feels like being in a friend's warm and comfortable living room. 1 or 2 cozy areas allow families to gather or those of us traveling independently, an opportunity to meet and chat about the day's journeys with other guests.
The tents are huge, airy, and comfortable. The washing services are great. There are several activities besides going out on safari, including pony trekking and visiting a village or forest. The pony trekking is fun because you get closer to the animals. The forest was a nice change that concerned hiking, walking across a long, treetop bridge, and jumping into waterfalls. The food at Lewa was savoury and all dietary necessities were honoured. The wines were amazing and paired well with the meals. Each night at dinner, we were greeted by genet cats, which are about the dimensions of a house pussy-cat. We also were shocked one night with a special dinner with a table overlooking the pool. We had a great experience at Lewa and would be very happy to visit again.
Whilst at the Lewa Camp the staff kindly told us about the new Lily Pond Arts Centre on the equator in Nanyuki.The workers at Lewa were adamant that we visited the huge art studio, as it displays cheap contemporary art from East Africa's top contemporary artists, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
You can choose to either suck up the atmosphere of this untroubled and special African arts place, or meet the "Artists in Residence". The Art Studio houses art graduates from art colleges in Nairobi, Kenya who are on fulltime, long term placements at the arts centre, making and displaying new affordable art works.
This new art studio in Nanyuki, aims to operate as a springboard for young artists to launch their art careers, whilst allowing safari visitors to buy original works of art.
We also enjoyed a good lunch on a deck, overlooking a huge lily pool.
With the great Mount Kenya Mountain as a background, we also enjoyed watching the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pond!
What we found amazing is that the equator slices clean through the middle of this Arts Centre. This implies that you can view electrifying African art in both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere!
This new Arts Centre in Nanyuki, has just installed a new equator sculpture, the Wish Globe, which is installed precisely at 0000000. Everybody writes down their wishes and then hangs them onto the "Wish Globe".
The arts centre has a singular shop stocked with hand- made African gifts such as beaded sandals, recycled flip flop toys, African masks, Glass chimes, Kenyan metal geckos and a lot more unusual African present ideas. That was almost all of our vacation money gone!
