Sleeping under the stars in the heart of nature
In the heart of the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, tucked away among the acacia trees and next to three waterholes where wildlife loves to gather, you’ll find the modern eco-camp Saruni Leopard Hill. At this small-scale retreat, literally shaded by a lightning-struck double fig tree, you’ll spend the night in one of six luxury safari tents. What makes a stay here truly unforgettable is the innovative, electrically operated sliding canopy above the bed. With the push of a button, the canvas slides aside, allowing you to enjoy a magical, unobstructed view of the sparkling starry sky from your “star bed,” safely protected by a mosquito net.
One of the areas with the most abundant wildlife in East Africa
A particular highlight of Saruni Leopard Hill is its exclusive access to one of East Africa’s most wildlife-rich areas, known for its exceptionally high concentration of predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Since the camp is located within a private conservancy, you’ll enjoy unique privileges such as adventurous night safaris, off-road game drives, and intimate walking safaris, far from the hustle and bustle of the main game reserve. After a day filled with wildlife sightings, you can relax with a traditional massage in the Maasai Wellbeing Space, followed by an atmospheric bush dinner. Here, a day on safari always ends with sharing stories around the crackling campfire. Where the world can't find you....
