"Fantastic Naboisho"
The location of this camp deserves special mention, our "tent" was located in front of wide open savannah - what more can one say about such a place? We loved it and although we don't usually revisit any location (unless it's to see wild dogs, of course) we may pay this gorgeous camp another visit in the future. Oh, and the big cat sightings were simply breathtaking. AND we saw two Honey Badgers being hotly pursued by a lioness on a game rich plain.

"Great camp, great guiding, beautiful place"
We loved our tent and its extraordinary nightlife, along with the askaris (guards)' close attention. Our guide, Daniel, and our spotter, Rakita, were terrific. We had Daniel the whole time, and he is an aware, awesome guide, very attentive. I will treasure our last sundowner, singing back and forth with the two of them -- just a wonderful, unplanned connection. Even with the tall grass, we had excellent game viewing.
I'm not sure if my favorite was the first drive with quick spotting of some of the lions and then Daniel saying 'oh, there's the leopard,' so that we saw both within the first few minutes of the first drive. Or maybe it was the day we spent an hour with the 4 cheetahs, watching the youngsters playing, just us and the cheetahs - this is why we travel so far.
Thank you, all the Naboisho people." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya
"Many cheetahs at Naboisho!"
We spent three days in Naboisho on game drives, and saw a group of cheetahs and many lions amongst others! The conservancy is a treasure trove for wildlife and most of the time we saw no other vans - it is a special place.
One day we took a full day's drive to the Mara which was great to see, with the Migration coming to an end.
One of the most enjoyable parts of our stay was a morning walking safari with Ruelof. A completely different way of experience the wildlife - this is highly recommended!" See all these reviews: 13n in Kenya

"Great safari camp and animal sightings."
The managers were very welcoming and helpful as were all the staff.
Our guide, Wilson, was very knowledgeable and on our arrival, on the way from the airstrip to the camp, we encountered 4 jackals killing a baby impala. The impala mother fought for such a long time but could not protect her baby. Such a fantastic sighting but also quite sad. We then went on to see so many animals, too many to name, on our game drives, which was fantastic.
Altogether a great camp with a good guide and superb animal sightings." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 7n in Kenya
"Naboisho Camp review"
Our drives with our guide Wilson were always interesting, he seemed to know just where the animals would be. He could look into a thicket and spot something that we would have to pull out our binoculars to see. The night drives allowed us to see active nocturnal animals such as bush babies. We were glad for the warmth of the blankets and hot water bottles. But combined with the early morning walks the night drives could make for a long day.
The village visit with Wilson (who is from the area) was great and allowed at least some insight into the lives of the rural Maasi.
Overall the camp staff was great (even those behind the scenes that we never met) and made for a wonderfully comfortable and relaxed stay. Sometimes they even anticipated special needs that we hadn't mentioned.
The camp's location was great with lions and elephants within walking distance.
Overall we had a perfect stay." See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya
