“11/10”
Very good place, very good staff, food was good, laundry was fast... Not sure if I can say one bad thing about this place, value for money is unreal. Also, inside the national park, they are all very very friendly there. We absolutely loved it.

“An unforgettable stay in the heart of Maasai Mara”
Our experience at Leisure camp was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everyone welcomed us with such kindness and warmth that we immediately felt at home. The staff are truly the heart of this place, always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, with every meal freshly prepared and full of flavor. We especially appreciated the care and creativity behind each dish, you can feel the passion of the team in every detail. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable, perfectly blending elegance and nature. Waking up to the sounds of the savanna and seeing the sunrise from our terrace was a magical moment we will never forget. And of course, the safari experience made our trip truly special. Our guide, Joseph, was exceptional, knowledgeable, patient, and with an incredible eye for spotting animals. Thanks to him we learned so much about the wildlife and culture of the Maasai Mara, and every drive became an adventure filled with wonder and emotion. Thank you to everyone at the lodge for making our stay so memorable. We left with our hearts full and already dreaming of coming back one day!
