Leleshwa: Our View


This stunning little tented camp provides a real sense of what it is to be out in the bush while not compromising on the luxury levels. Located over in the Siana Community Conservation Area the camp benefits from being in a very secluded region to the east of the Mara. The main drawback of this areas is that it struggles for regular water supply and so the game can be fairly tricky to locate at times.

We like Leleshwa Camp however we feel the lodge is a bit out of the way and the game is a bit weak in this area, for that reason we can give it 3 paws

Leleshwa: The Detail


Leleshwa Camp offers a variety of safari activities which give you the opportunity to get close to nature and interact with local tribesmen. They have now expanded our portfolio to include hiking in Loita Hills.
 
The rolling hills of the Maasai Mara and the floor of the Great Rift Valley are bounded on the east by the Loita Hills which rise to 2,000m above sea level. The Loita Hills hosts the Maasai Purko clan and their 200km² Sacred Forest which features cedar, podo and strangler fig trees, breathtaking waterfalls, spectacular birdlife and wildlife in rare settings.
 
The areas in which we walk are inaccessible to vehicles and the wilderness is relatively untouched. Your Maasai guide is from the local region and has an intimate knowledge of the flora and fauna. Donkeys are used to carry the light weight camp to our base which is located deep within the forests, close to natural springs and hippo pools.
 
The camp itself is set in amongst a small “lugger” that gives cool shade in the heat of the day and allows for one of the most natural of alarm calls in the morning due to the community of birds that nest in the reeds and bushes that sit along side the river bed. of footprints.

Alex is really changing the way safari is considered in Kenya and East Africa. One of a group of camps that he has slowly developed, Serian is the perfect base away from the crowds of the Mara to use as a base for a few nights while using the mobile camps and walking safaris to go and see the herds.
