Lewa hosts the 19th annual Safaricom Marathon

On June 30th, guests from both Elewana Kifaru House and Elewana Lewa Safari Camp witnessed the 19th edition of the Safaricom Lewa Marathon alongside our own First Lady Margaret Kenyatta! The annual sporting event, know as one of the few marathons in the world where participants run 21 or 42 kilometers through tough terrain and one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife conservancies, raising money for wildlife conservation, community development and education.
