Soroi Leopards Lair

We recently stayed at Leopards Lair in Lumo Conservancy in Kenya for our Honeymoon and it was honestly one of the best stays/experience of our lives. All the staff went above and beyond and were so friendly and welcoming throughout the stay to make sure we had what we needed when we needed it. The food was also very tasty and they offered meat and vegetarian options for every meal and were accommodating for any dietary requirements we had. It didn't stop there as our lodge was beautiful, modern but with an African twist- very clean and tidy with stunning views out to the conservancy and Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day. Lastly our driver Sammy was amazing, taking us on the best safaris and adventures to make sure we had the best experience and saw the best of what the conservancy had to offer. 20/10 experience and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

Leopards Lair did not disappoint. A luxury experience in an intimate setting, my wife and I and two friends. The view, the incredibly friendly staff (nothing was too much of an ask), the accommodations and especially the 5 star food. The food was so well prepared, so much so that my wife commented that her fish dish was as good as anything she has had, anywhere. Having drinks by the fire while the sun went down was special.

We stayed at this property in August with our two twenty-year-old daughters. What can I say, everything was wonderful! The welcome, the service, the kindness of the staff, the food—really everything! We felt truly pampered. The safari organization was perfect, the breakfast in the bush, the dawn and nighttime outings, the aperitif at the end of the day in front of the fire. We had a wonderful experience, managing to observe, thanks to the coordination of our guide Benjamin and the other staff, the herd of elephants as they drank, up close and personal, hidden in the bunker. Our experience in this magical place, far from the hustle and bustle of the hyper-tourist parks, was truly enjoyable.

This wasn't our first visit to the cozy cottages at Leopard's Lair. The two attractively furnished cottages each featured a large double bed and a single bed, making them perfect for our family (four adults and two children). Being able to stay in two cottages right next to each other gave us maximum privacy. Although the small camp isn't fenced, we felt safe and secure at all times. The askaris kept a discreet watch over us, allowing the children to move freely between the two cottages. As always, we self-catered and enjoyed the fantastic kitchenette facilities located right by our terraces. The camp's incredible location offers a wonderful view of the plains. We especially loved having sundowners under a tree out in the wild! Not to mention the incredible experiences and sightings from the underground photography hide, which is part of the Soroi properties. For us, a stay at the Leopard's Lair cottages is the ultimate safari experience, and we will certainly be back again and again.
