About Tour Guide Lewis N.
Hello! I'm Lewis, a Kenyan documentary filmmaker, an experienced tour guide and the host of an authentic family homestay where travellers can experience real rural life beyond the usual tourist routes. I enjoy welcoming people from around the world and sharing the traditions, history, and daily life of the Meru people, one of East Kenya's oldest Bantu communities.
Our homesteads offer a genuine cultural exchange where you'll live with a local family, enjoy home-cooked meals, participate in farming and community activities, and learn through storytelling and shared experiences. We also organise visits to the beautiful Meru National Park, a rarely touristed route near cultural and natural sites.
Whether you're a traveller, photographer, filmmaker, researcher, or simply curious about authentic Kenyan culture, you'll be welcomed with warmth, respect, and the opportunity to create meaningful memories while becoming part of our community.
Important
To provide you the best experience, I recommend booking at least 3 days in advance so I can coordinate with local elders, community members, and any special activities.

I am a seasoned safari guide whose passion for the wild goes far beyond the ordinary. With over 20 years of experience navigating Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes—from the vast plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve to the elephant-rich views of Amboseli National Park—every journey with me feels like stepping into a live wildlife documentary.
