Sirikoi Lodge - the perfect partnership
Nestled in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Sirikoi Lodge blends luxury safari experiences with deep sustainability commitments.
Conservation: Sirikoi manages 3,000 acres of pristine wilderness, supports endangered species like rhinos, and channels guest fees into Lewa’s conservation projects.
Community: 75% of staff come from local communities. The lodge invests in schools, health initiatives, and skills training, ensuring tourism uplifts the region.
Culture: Guests are invited to connect with Samburu and Maasai traditions through storytelling, crafts, and cultural exchanges.
Commerce: Sirikoi runs on 100% solar energy and grows over 80 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs in its organic garden — a true “farm-to-table” experience.

Why This Connection Matters
The Long Run’s philosophy is about thinking long-term — ensuring that tourism doesn’t just minimise harm but actively creates positive impact. Sirikoi embodies this by showing that luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand.
Guests enjoy world-class safaris, yet every stay contributes to conservation, community empowerment, and cultural preservation.
