Located in the Siana Conservancy on the edge of the Maasai Mara, Leleshwa Camp features a very intimate setup of six to seven luxury tents each with en-suite bathrooms, raised on platforms, with broad verandas looking out over stream valleys and plains.
The camp blends safari-style authenticity with comfort: think canvas walls, mosquito nets, hot showers, flush toilets, elegant furnishings, and a bar/lounge area that sits among nature.
What’s particularly appealing: because the camp sits in a private conservancy rather than the main crowded reserve, you get fewer vehicles, more freedom (including some bush walks, night drives in certain zones) and a quieter, more exclusive feel.

Tour Highlights
Early-morning game drives across the Siana Conservancy and into the Maasai Mara — great for spotting big cats, migration herds, elephants, giraffes and the full drama of the African bush.
Bush walks escorted by a guide and Maasai warrior — explore fauna, flora, tracks and more intimate wilderness experiences beyond vehicle tracks.
Hot-air balloon safari over the plains at dawn (optional) followed by champagne breakfast in the wild — a magical viewing angle of the ecosystem.
Cultural visit to a local Maasai village, traditional spear-throwing, bead-work, school visit and engaging with community conservation projects.
Night game drives or sundowner by the river valley, listening to the sounds of the wild after dark — a rare treat outside the main park.
Relaxation at the camp: luxurious tent veranda, hammocks, watching wildlife come close, dining under stars, cocktails by lantern-light.
