Elephant by the mess tent

Little Elephant Pepper Camp officially openes in June, offering one of the most intimate safari experiences to date in the Collection. The camp is comprised of just three spacious safari suites and one two-bedroom family suite, each with a private veranda and plunge pool. Overlooking a natural mineral lick fed by a seasonal stream, the camp provides exceptional wildlife observation opportunities directly from the tents, as well as the dining area. Interiors by Jan Allan of byDesign paid homage to classic safari style through campaign furniture, warm woods, brass detailing and an earthy palette. A dedicated spa treatment tent is also available for post-safari recovery. The camp lends itself particularly well to couples, multi-generational families and small groups, with full buyout available given its boutique scale.

Likewise, Lewa Safari Camp reopened on 1st June, following a complete restoration also led by Jan Allan of byDesign. The project preserved the camp's authentic character while introducing thoughtful modern refinements throughout the guest units and public areas. Key new features include a redesigned central Dining Tree deck, shaded verandas, a new pool with tiered stone seating, and an outdoor firepit lounge for evening gatherings. Situated within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which includes 65,000 acres of protected wilderness renowned for its black rhino and Grevy's zebra populations, the camp offers some of East Africa's most compelling conservation-focused safari experiences, with low vehicle density and strong Big Five potential.
