About Tour Guide Lewis N.

Karibu Kenya! I’m Lewis, your host, guide and storyteller.

I’m a Kenyan documentary filmmaker and experienced tour guide, and I host a family homestay in the heart of Meru, one of East Kenya’s oldest Bantu communities. My work, whether behind a camera or on the trail, is about sharing real Kenya, beyond the usual tourist routes.
