In addition, you will see hippo, kudu, gerenuk, lion, leopard, cheetah and other species of wildlife. Ian and Jane Craig, with their wonderful crew, will be your hosts, and with a licensed veterinarian, the lucky bidders may accompany the crew and watch close-up the darting of wildlife, for scientific purposes. Being hosted by Ian and Jane will allow you to experience Lewa that is not available to the average visitor. You will have a vehicle and driver/guide available to escort you around this unique Conservancy, photographing the wildlife in their natural habitat. There are blinds placed near watering places to allow you, in safety, to photograph elephant and other game at extremely close range. Although this trip is for two persons, you can add additional people – up to six more - to accompany you. While your expenses are covered, the others will need to pay the normal safari fees on Lewa.
