The volume of wildlife crowning the locally owned Mara Naboisho Conservancy around Leopard Hill is exceptional—elephants playfully clashing tusks, sturdy zebras galloping, big-maned lions nuzzling cubs. But animals aren’t the sole highlight at this eco camp, which opened in early 2018 with six tents outfitted with outdoor showers and retractable roofs for stargazing from bed, starting at $375 a night. The all-Kenyan guide staff includes three trailblazing young Maasai women who attended guide school and learned to drive 4x4s. They pursued this career path with help from Basecamp Explorer, Leopard Hill’s parent company, a staunch supporter of female guiding. —Kathryn Romeyn
