Hotels With Airport pickup service in Meru, Kenya

Lewa Safari Camp with Elewana exceeded all of our expectations, delivering an unforgettable experience. The tent accommodations were beautiful and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury. One of the highlights of each day was the wake-up call with cappuccinos and biscuits delivered directly to our tent—a perfect start before embarking on a morning game drive. Our guide, George, was phenomenal. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem added so much to the experience, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had incredible sightings. We were fortunate to enjoy unforgettable moments with elephants, rhinos, lions, a leopard and small herds of the endangered Grevy’s zebra. The quiet, close encounters—often without any other vehicles nearby—made it feel like we had the place to ourselves. George knew just where to place the Land Cruiser for the perfect view. Starting with our drive from the airport, Lewa Downs, we were immediately immersed in the wild life. We saw all the big five within our first two days. George made every game drive memorable. His eyesight is phenomenal, spotting animals at great distances and then getting us upclose to them. The culinary team was outstanding. I have extensive food allergies, and the chefs went out of their way to accommodate me, creating delicious meals that made me feel entirely safe and cared for. From surprise bush breakfasts to sundowners. Every meal was an experience in itself. Our personal tent valet, Freddy, was attentive and always a step ahead, ensuring our stay was seamless and comfortable. Glynn and Keen, who facilitate and manage the camp, clearly run a tight ship and create an atmosphere of warm hospitality and professionalism. Every staff member we encountered was delightful and committed to making our stay unforgettable. We cannot thank the team enough for their exceptional service, knowledge, and kindness. Lewa Safari Camp is a true gem, and we hope to return someday!

This is a lovely little hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are super-friendly and helpful. For examplr, we had to check out very early in the morning on our last day so the staff organised for breakfast to start 30 minutes early, just for us! My only slight complaint was that there is no gym (there is a lovely outdoor pool). I understand that the htel was recently refurbished and that there will eventually be a gym.

Elsa’s was the first of three Elewana properties we visited in Kenya. The minute our plane landed at the airstrip we knew we had the most incredible guide - Mohammed! He said there was a cheetah sighting -the first in months - he politely hurried us into the vehicle and off we sped. Mohammed was a true pro Some of the guides at our subsequent properties referred to Mohammed as “the legend” and we know why! The staff at Elsa’s were all very friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Morris, our waiter, would say “anything is possible” when we had a special request. The pool was beautiful and really refreshing after a day out on our game drive. The property is very unique - being built into the natural environment rocks and trees can be part of your accommodations. The rooms are all different, so it pays to do some research in advance if you have any preferences. If you do have specific room requests, it’s best to communicate directly with the property in advance (not central Elewana reservations). And if you have any mobility challenges make sure you inquire about the room and location. We did have issues with lots of ants in our room (we stayed in cottage #5). Not sure what could have been done about that given the natural environment. One other suggestion is to offer the option of dinner seating in the open air dining room - unlike breakfast all the dinner tables are set up in the grass by the pool. All in all, we had a great time at Elsa’s. It has a storied history and we really enjoyed the day and night game drives and the rhino sanctuary. Be sure to try the walking safari too if you’re so inclined!
