Simple elegance and luxury mark this luxury camp with stunning views of the hills, plains and the sekenani river. it is the smallest permanent tented camp in the maasai mara. It is known for it's magnificent setting, excellent cuisine and what are probably the most comfortable tents in africa.
simple elegance is the sekenani style. the camp is built at the source of the sekenani river which rises from a rock pool at the east end of the camp and forms the stream which flows in front of each tent. The camp has maintained its characteristic style and atmosphere, thanks to the efforts of the new owners, and the local maasai communities. 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 development project developing infrastructure for health-care, veterinary services, education and clean water for people living around the reserve.
