Suggested Itineraries

At Leleshwa Camp you set the pace of your stay which can be tailored to your personal preference. The itinerary below outlines some suggestions for your stay.

Day 1

From 11h00		Flights from Nairobi Wilson airport begin to arrive at the Siana Springs airstrip. You will be met at the airstrip by your guide and game drive back to the camp. On your arrival you will receive a briefing and be shown to your tent to unpack and relax before lunch.
13h00		A light buffet lunch is served in our dining tent or under the trees at the edge of the stream. Our meals are served around a single dining table where you will meet your fellow guests staying at the camp. Your guide will discuss your preferences for your stay and make recommendations on your itinerary.
15h30-19h00	After lunch relax in your tent before enjoying a refreshment in the lounge and heading out on your afternoon game drive. In the late afternoon, you will stop for a ‘sundowner’ cocktail to watch the sun set and prepare for your night drive back to camp. On a night drive you are able to see many different nocturnal animals as well as predators coming out to hunt.
From 19h30	Join the other guests around the camp fire before sitting down for dinner.

Day 2

06h00

You will be woken by your Tent Steward with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Toast and fruit is served in the dining tent if you wish to enjoy a quick snack before you begin your full day game drive in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Your guide and spotter will set the route for your drive depending upon the season and their local knowledge of where the best wildlife viewing is. They are experts at finding and identifying flora and fauna and will explain the different behaviours you encounter. A picnic breakfast and lunch as well as a cooler full of assorted drinks are packed for you to stop and enjoy refreshments. During the heat of the day you will stop in the shade of a leafy tree for your picnic lunch and perhaps a siesta on the blankets and cushions we always carry before continuing your afternoon game drive back towards camp.

From 19h30

Join your fellow guests around the camp fire and share stories of your days’ adventure before sitting down for dinner.

Day 3

05h30	You have the option to rise early to drive out to a hill to watch the sun rise with a hot cup of coffee or, if you would like to be more active, enjoy a walk across the plains or to the top of the surrounding hills. You can either walk or game drive to the local Masai Village where the community are preparing for their daily chores of herding and collecting firewood and water. This is a traditional village where you can interact with the Masai and enter their huts and learn more about their culture.After breakfast, game drive to our local Primary School which we support through kind donations made by our guests. We have stationery packs available at camp for purchase if required. A visit to the school is a heartwarming experience where you will experience the enthusiasm the children have for education and the joy they take in learning.
From 12h30	Head back to camp for a light lunch. This afternoon is also a good opportunity to sort through your photographs in our digital media centre or relax around camp and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
From 16h00	As the day starts to cool you head out on another game drive in our private conservancy. This is another opportunity to do a night drive after sundowners and, if the weather is favorable, you may even end up at a private bush dinner location and enjoy a local BBQ dinner under the grand starry African sky.

Day 4

07h00	You have the option to rise early and enjoy another morning game drive or bush walk.
10h00	After breakfast, you will be transferred to the Siana Springs airstrip to your ongoing travel. Flights depart from 10h45 to Nairobi Wilson Airport.
