Gamewatchers Safaris is pleased to announce that Kigio Wildlife Conservancy has joined them for reservations, sales and marketing of Malewa Wildlife Lodge and Kigio Wildlife Camp.  Both are located in 3,500 acres of pristine wilderness of the Kigio Wildlife Conservancy, between Naivasha and Nakuru which is dedicated to the preservation of over 100 indigenous plant species, 200 birds and 40 mammals including the endangered Rothschild's giraffe.  

The striking Malewa Wildlife Lodge is set within a glorious Yellow Acacia woodland along the Malewa River which attracts over 250 species of exotic birds. Once a rudimentary lodge, it has been transformed into a stunning luxury eco-lodge incorporating a dramatic architectural style and traditional African building methods and concepts.  Accommodation is in 5 individual and traditional-styled buildings with 6 bedrooms (one is a 2-storey family cottage with 2 rooms) and 4 stunning river suites on stilts (including one honeymoon suite with outdoor bath), all offering spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms within an acacia forest filled with wildlife.

Only 1km from Malewa Wildlife Lodge, Kigio Wildlife Camp is a superb all-suite camp surrounded by a beautiful Yellow-fever tree woodland overlooking the Malewa River. The camp is constructed from sustainable pine-wood, local earth from the conservancy, traditional thatch provided by the surrounding community and canvas panels- there has been minimal usage of cement and steel and the environment has been carefully preserved during its construction. Power is provided by solar panels. Accommodation is in eleven spacious suites and one 2-bedroom family suite, each built on deck and containing a large bedroom and sitting area, a private bathroom with flush toilet, shower and balcony.

Gamewatchers Safaris have been organising trips to Kenya for over 20 years and whose lodges include Nairobi Tented Camp in Nairobi National Park as well as the Porini Safari Camps are all run on environmentally sound principles.  They are specially designed to have minimum impact, with no permanent structures, using solar power for electricity and heating water with special eco-friendly sustainable charcoal briquettes. The camps offer the experience of staying in a small, high-quality safari camp comfortably furnished with private bathrooms, solar lights and located in exclusive wildlife conservancies in some of the finest big game areas in Africa.    They have camps in conservancies adjacent to the Masai Mara, Amboseli and in Ol Pejeta near Mt Kenya.

Here travellers escape from the crowds and experience the African wilderness without the presence of other tourist vehicles and with the personal attention of qualified safari guides. Walks with Maasai warriors and the opportunity for night game drives in exclusive wilderness areas are included. Game drives are in open-sided 4×4 safari vehicles, with expert guides.
