Leopard Hill

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

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.
