Leopard Hill is a modern camp located in the heart of Mara Naibosho Conservancy. What makes Leopard Hill accommodation special, is the adjustable motorized roof in the tents, which provides an unhindered view of the African night sky. And yes, you are still separated from the nocturnal wildlife by an invisible mosquito net. To top it all, one can enjoy the scenery without disturbance, as this part of Naibosho Conservancy is restricted from motorized vehicles.
The tent architecture is inspired by round Masai houses called Manyattas. This offers an almost 360-degree view of the surroundings, from your bed towards the Fig Tree, the water holes and from the bathroom to the back. Each tent has its own theme, and the ambiance is set by furniture and decor of African and Indian origin. Each tent also houses an outdoor fireplace on a large terrace and has both indoor and outdoor showers.

Tawi Lodge is an oasis set in succulent rich gardens, interspersed with crystal clear springs and large shady Tortilis Acacia trees. Set in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro, this eco-lodge combines unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style coupled with traditional East African hospitality.
The lodge and cottages sprawl along the edge of dry acacia woodland with Mount Kilimanjaro standing proudly above. Elephants often pass right close by, gently allowing close absorption into their secret lives, from the comfort of the cottage decks.
Each of the “elegantly rustic” cottages are richly appointed, most with incredible views looking out over the mountain. They have spacious bedrooms, private decks, ensuite bathrooms, with both bathtub and shower. Each cottage has large, snug 4-poster beds.

Mahali Mzuri means ‘beautiful place’ in Swahili. Mahali Mzuri is Sir Richard Branson’s 12-tented luxury safari camp located in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy in the wider Masai Mara ecosystem in Kenya.
The luxury guest tents come complete with ensuite bathroom, private deck, and breath-taking views. In the center of the 12 tents is the Main Tent. Here, at the heart of the camp, is the relaxing lounge with an open fireplace and a large, decked area where breakfast and lunch are served. Just a short distance from the Main tent is a 12-metre infinity swimming pool, big enough for a leisurely swim or a refreshing dip.
Due to Mahali Mzuri’s excellent location on the Kenyan plains, you’ll have a front row seat, not just to the annual great migration, but also to the abundant game you can see all year round. During twice daily game drives, you will have the opportunity to see lions, wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs, but that’s just for starters!

The Cliff – a 10 room luxury camp located inside the Nakuru park defies conventional labels, being a combination of safari lodge, tented camp, and boutique hotel, constructed and furnished in a contemporary European style. Perched on a cliff, it offers panoramic view for each guest tent to overlook the lake from the comfort of guest tent.
Each tent is built on solid foundations at the edge of the cliff, and faces the lake, allowing guests 180-degree views of the panoramic paradise, yet maintaining privacy. Not wanting to waste the view, the tent is spacious, and the freestanding bath looks outwards. While the exterior environment at The Cliff is pure Africa, the room interiors combine organic chic with international design to create the understated style of a modern boutique hotel.
Lake Nakuru, is a soda lake nestled into the ancient Rift Valley and a feeding ground for thousands of flamingos. Only two and a half hours from Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, the lake is protected by the surrounding national park, a mix of woodlands, bush, savannah, and volcanic cliffs that make it a perfect habitat for four of Africa’s Big Five. One of the biggest attractions of this park is the rhinos & Rothschild giraffe. Rothschild giraffe is one of the endangered species of giraffes with only 200 of them surviving. One key trait to distinguish them from other giraffes is the deep body color with white soccer socks like texture of hoof till knees.

Adjacent to the Masai Mara National Reserve, the 200 km Mara Naboisho Conservancy is a groundbreaking tourism initiative that benefits both conservation and community. Spectacular game viewing (including high concentrations of predators) combined with community interaction and the opportunity to join a walking safari has made the conservancy one of the most exciting destinations in Africa. In the heart of it all is Naboisho Camp, a stylish haven with nine elegant tents, offering a level of safari solitude almost unheard of so close to the Masai Mara.
The Mara Naboisho Conservancy in southwest Kenya is a dream for wildlife enthusiasts. Naboisho Camp is designed to be as open as possible, taking full advantage of the Mara surroundings. Spot zebra or impala from its thatched-roof main lounge and dining area or swimming pool and dine with the sights and sounds of the bush as your entertainment, be it the whoops of hyenas at night or the fluttering of weaver birds in the morning.

On the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in central Kenya’s Laikipia region lies the atmospheric Ol Pejeta Bush Camp. Ol Pejeta offers an exceptional base from which to explore the secrets of this renowned conservancy — from the pioneering conservation projects that have made it famous to spectacular sightings of black and white rhino, the Big 5 and the world’s last two remaining northern white rhino.
Overlooked by the dramatic snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is in central Kenya’s Laikipia County. It’s home to the two remaining northern white rhinos on the planet and many other endangered animals, all protected around the clock by dedicated rangers.
Staying at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp allows guests to contribute to conservation. One can also get involved by helping with canine training or recording lion sightings for the research team. The peaceful camp is staffed by warm and hospitable team and is a great place for families, with activities like the Junior Ranger Program to keep kids entertained and engaged.

Set in the highly sought-after Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Encounter Mara offers guests access to some of the best wildlife viewing in East Africa. The award-winning camp is set in the shade of a thick acacia forest with sweeping views over the savannah. The wildlife viewing is excellent year–round, and this, combined with the comfort of the camp and its excellent environmental credentials, means there are few more rewarding places than Encounter Mara to experience this slice of the Kenyan wilderness.
The conservancy is known for its prolific wildlife and award-winning sustainability model that balances the needs of local communities, wildlife, and tourism. It has an even higher density of animals than the neighboring Masai Mara National Reserve and one of the world’s most concentrated lion populations.
While the adjacent Masai Mara National Reserve is known for being on the route of the Great Migration, the Mara Naboisho Conservancy has its own ‘secret’ version: The Loita Migration sees thousands of wildebeest and zebras travelling through the conservancy to Loita Plains.
Rekero Camp

Situated less than 150 meters from a crossing point on the Talek River, Rekero is a superlative safari destination year-round and perfect to view The Great Migration with crossings on your doorstep. The camp evokes the charm of African safaris from a bygone era, with nine romantic tents, and spectacular views of the surrounding game-filled plains of the world-famous Masai Mara.
Guests can watch the herd make this perilous crossing without even leaving the camp. Enjoy this and other wildlife sightings from the comfort of riverside tent or from one of the two communal decks.
Outside of migration season, one of the highlights of staying in the Masai Mara is viewing the predators that prowl these plains. It’s no coincidence that many wildlife documentaries, including BBC’s Big Cat Diary and Disney’s African Cats, have been filmed here. There is a high concentration of lions — including the resident Rekero pride — plus cheetahs and leopards.
