Lewa Downs, Kenya
Situated in the wildlife-rich Eastern corner of the Conservancy is the Craig family home, Wilderness Trails, where guests have been entertained in luxury for the past 30 years
Will and Emma Craig offer an intimate family atmosphere where a maximum of 16 guests are housed in 8 beautifully decorated cottages, featuring fireplaces and verandas.
Guests can relax by the fire in Will and Emmas cosy sitting room and share meals around a long banquet table in the open-air dining room. Natural springs, home-raised livestock, and a 5-acre organic garden are transformed by skilled chefs into healthy and delicious fare.
