Leopard Hill Mara Camp is a secluded luxury tented camp located within the pristine Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya’s Greater Masai Mara ecosystem. The camp is designed to provide a perfect blend of wild adventure and modern luxury, all while maintaining a deep respect for the surrounding environment. Its name is inspired by its proximity to one of the Masai Mara’s best leopard territories, giving guests a high chance of spotting this elusive predator right from camp or during game drives. The intimate size of the camp ensures personalized service, privacy, and exclusive safari experiences away from the busier areas of the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Leopard Hill is a favorite for guests seeking something different, stargazing directly from their bed through motorized retractable roofs, private decks with fireplaces, and a raw but refined connection to nature without sacrificing comfort.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Leopard Hill Mara Camp largely depends on what kind of safari experience you want. The dry season from June to October offers the most rewarding game viewing. This period sees large concentrations of wildlife, especially predators like leopards, lions, and cheetahs. The grass is shorter, and animals gather around water sources, making sightings easier.
On the other hand, the green season from November to March transforms the landscape into a lush paradise. This season is quieter with fewer tourists, ideal for those seeking privacy. It’s also calving season for many herbivores, attracting predators and providing action packed sightings. Birdwatching is excellent, with migratory species present.
April and May bring the long rains, creating a vibrant green landscape. Though there is more rain, game viewing remains good in Naboisho because of its resident wildlife. Photographers love this season for the dramatic skies and rich colors, and it’s perfect for those seeking a more peaceful safari experience.
How to Get There
Leopard Hill Mara Camp is easily accessible both by air and by road, depending on your preference and travel plans. The most convenient way is to fly from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the nearby Ol Seki Airstrip within Naboisho Conservancy. This scenic flight takes about 45 minutes, and from the airstrip, it’s just a 30 minute game drive to the camp, often with wildlife encounters along the way.
For guests who prefer traveling by road, it’s possible to drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara. The journey typically takes around 5 to 6 hours, depending on road conditions. While longer, this option allows you to see more of the Kenyan countryside and pass through small towns along the way. Private transfers can also be arranged from other lodges within the Mara or nearby conservancies.
