About Leopard Hill Camp
Basecamp’s contemporary camp beneath a leopard-frequented hill — each tent’s roof retracts at the touch of a button for in-bed stargazing.
The area: Mara Naboisho Conservancy
A 50,000-acre conservancy created in 2010 by more than 500 Maasai families — “Naboisho” means “coming together” in Maa. It protects a wildlife-rich wedge northeast of the reserve with one of Africa’s densest lion populations.
What it's like
Big cats, big giraffe herds and true exclusivity: fewer than a dozen small camps, walking safaris, night drives and fly-camping. A benchmark for community-owned conservation.
Getting there & fees
Ol Seki or Mara North airstrips, or by road via Talek. Conservancy fees are included in camp rates and paid directly to member families.
Conservancy fees (typically US$100–150 per adult per night) are bundled into camp rates here and paid to Maasai landowning families; reserve entry fees apply only on days you cross into the reserve itself.
Plan around this stay
Seasons, wildlife and reserve fees are in the Masai Mara park guide. The year is broken down in the best time to visit the Masai Mara, and this price tier sits in context in what a Kenya safari costs in 2026. How this conservancy compares with the reserve is covered in conservancies vs the reserve.
