Embarking on a 3‑ to 5‑day journey to Sekenani Camp offers an unforgettable immersion into the heart of the Maasai Mara, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife landscapes. Nestled at the source of the Sekenani River, this camp is deeply rooted in nature, offering you a tranquil bush escape where dawn’s light reveals grazing antelopes and evening shadows play across the riverine forest. Over a multi-day stay, you’ll experience the rhythm of the Mara through thrilling game drives, guided nature walks, and possibly a hot‑air balloon ride, all while enjoying the intimacy and serenity of a small, eco-sensitive camp.
Beyond the wildlife, this adventure also cultivates a deeper connection to Kenya’s rich heritage. The camp works in partnership with local Maasai families, offering cultural experiences that include visits to Maasai villages and conversations with Maasai guides. As you relax by the campfire under an African sky, the silence of the wilderness is punctuated only by the night sounds of the bush and distant wildlife — a truly restorative and inspiring retreat.
About the Camp
Sekenani Camp (website: sekenani-camp.com) is a charming, eco-friendly camp located just 6 km from the Sekenani Gate of the Maasai Mara. The camp features 15 raised tents spaced for privacy, each with a wooden floor and an en-suite bathroom including a full-length bathtub. The social areas — bar, dining, lounge — are linked by a suspension bridge over the river, creating a sense of adventure and connection with nature. Sekenani Camp is committed to sustainability: its power comes from a generator and renewable solar sources, and even the ice for the bar is solar-produced.
