Saruni Leopard Hill

Location: Saruni Leopard Hill sits in the heart of the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, one of Kenya’s finest private conservancies bordering the Masai Mara. Its setting is wonderfully secluded yet rich in wildlife, with the camp built beside a natural waterhole that draws animals in throughout the day. What makes the location particularly striking is the surrounding landscape - open savannah dotted with acacia trees, and the feeling of deep stillness and space that comes with being far from the busier park areas. It's the kind of place where you really feel immersed in nature, yet still well looked after.

Rooms: The camp features just six tented suites, each with an elegant, contemporary design and a clever starbed roof that opens electronically - allowing you to sleep quite literally beneath the Kenyan night sky. Inside, the tents are stylish and modern, with clean lines, neutral tones, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that frame uninterrupted views across the plains. You’ll find spacious en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, writing desks, and private decks - perfect for a quiet coffee at sunrise or watching wildlife wander past the waterhole below.

Amenities: Though intimate in size, Saruni Leopard Hill feels sophisticated and well-equipped. The main lounge and dining area is raised for maximum views and serves excellent, fresh meals with a focus on locally sourced produce. There’s a fire pit for relaxed evenings under the stars, and a separate library and lounge tent for reading or downtime between drives. Wi-Fi is available but discreet - the atmosphere encourages switching off and tuning in to the rhythms of the bush.

Activities: Guests at Leopard Hill have access to a wide range of experiences within the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy. Game drives here are exceptional, with a high density of wildlife including lions, leopards, elephants, and large herds of plains game. Walks with expert Maasai guides offer a different perspective on the landscape, and night drives allow you to spot creatures rarely seen in daylight. Cultural visits to nearby communities provide genuine insight into Maasai life, and the camp’s starbeds add a beautifully immersive touch to the whole experience.

Sustainability: Saruni Leopard Hill is part of a wider community-based conservation model that makes a real difference. As with all camps in Naboisho, every guest contributes directly to wildlife protection and local livelihoods. The camp is built sustainably, powered largely by solar energy, and takes great care in water and waste management. Employment is drawn from surrounding communities, ensuring meaningful benefit flows to the people who call this region home. It’s a thoughtful and responsible way to experience Kenya’s iconic wildlife while supporting its long-term future.
