Accommodation

The camp accommodation comprises of 15 well-appointed tents, each with a full-length bathtub. The tents are separated from the restaurant and bar by a suspension bridge across the Sekenani river, and in such a way to ensure complete privacy. The public areas are in a large tent-like structure with canvas sides which are rolled up during the day. In the evenings a campfire on the veranda is the focal point for guests who enjoy drinks and exchange stories before dinner. We also have internet access available.

Facilities

The bar stocks a wide range of international and local brands. The kitchen produces delicious fresh meals with many ingredients harvested from our own organic vegetable garden. The garden is not only a source of fresh vegetables for our consumption but also serves as an example to our community. Since inception, we have paid meticulous attention to maintain the environment. Each tent has total privacy and seclusion from other tents. This approach to privacy has earned Sekenani Camp a reputation for being one of the most romantic destinations and accommodation in the Maasai Mara.
