Saruni Leopard Hill
Saruni Leopard Hill is an eco-friendly luxury tented camp located in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Masai Mara. It seamlessly blends traditional Kenyan safari elements with contemporary design, offering guests an immersive wilderness experience and meaningful interactions with the Maasai people. The camp provides access to exceptional wildlife viewing, guided walks, and cultural experiences, all while promoting responsible tourism. Its unique tent architecture, inspired by traditional Maasai houses, offers panoramic views of the surroundings and the option to open the tent ceiling for stargazing from bed. Situated amidst acacia trees, the camp harmoniously integrates with its natural environment, overlooking plains frequented by diverse wildlife. Guests can enjoy a tranquil retreat with luxurious amenities and a commitment to sustainability, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic and impactful safari adventure.
Accommodation options include four spacious deluxe tents, a family tent, and a honeymoon tent, each featuring innovative design, handcrafted furnishings, and large en-suite bathrooms. A standout feature across all tents is the ability to open a portion of the ceiling, revealing the night sky through a mosquito net – a unique "star bed" experience. The camp is strategically located near a significant Maasai landmark, the Double Fig Tree, offering stunning sunrise and sunset views. The Naboisho Conservancy is renowned for its prolific wildlife, particularly its lion sightings, and the waterholes directly in front of the camp provide opportunities for wildlife observation from the comfort of the tents.
Saruni Leopard Hill offers a holistic safari experience with a strong emphasis on wellness and community engagement. The Maasai Wellbeing Space provides massages and treatments, while various activities like game drives, walking safaris, and cultural visits offer diverse ways to explore the ecosystem and interact with local communities. The camp actively supports conservation efforts through its involvement with the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, ensuring that tourism directly benefits local livelihoods and protects the natural habitat. It champions sustainability through practices like rainwater harvesting, solar power generation, waste recycling, and local employment, reflected in its Gold eco-rating from Ecotourism Kenya.
