Leleshwa / Mara

[freebird]

Has anyone stayed at Leleshwa? Apparently it is about 2 years old. It comes highly recommended (by a travel agent!!) but I have read so many wonderful things about Rekero Camp that I cannot decide whether or not to take the chance on a newish place. Unfortunately, this may be my one and only safari. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Freebird,

Personally I'd go with Rekero -- the location is wonderful and the camp is great as well. I enjoy trying new camps on my trips, but I go to Africa regularly and thus it's all right (though obviously not ideal) if a particular camp is a bit disappointing -- but if you think this will be your only trip you may want to go somewhere you're unlikely to be disappointed.

Cheers,
Julian

Thanks. I am on the case. Just hoping Rekero is available.
