Sekenani is the smallest of all permanent
tented camps in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Located just
outside the reserve, some 5km from the Sekenani gate (on the
Eastern end), it consists of 15 beautifully designed tents,
raised off the ground on wooden platforms and far away from
each other as to secure privacy. Each one has wooden floors
and comprises an en suite bathroom complete with a large brass-taps
bathtub. The tents huge windows offer great views of the hills
and plains beyond.
Built at the source of the Sekenani river,
the tents are connected by a suspended bridge to the dinning
and bar, located on a traditional log and hessian structure.
The camp is reputed for having one of the best cuisines in
the reserve, a blend of African and International culinary
traditions.
Sekenani offers a wide array of activities,
among which game walks in the surrounding hills, lead by a
Maasai guide (more than 200 bird species have been identified
in the area). Other activities include balloon safaris, and
fishing expeditions to Lake Victoria. Game drives are included
in the rates.
The camp is operated in conjunction with
twenty six Maasai families who have a share in the business.
It is the logistical center for a community project developing
infrastructure for health-care, veterinary services, education
and clean water for people living around the reserve.
