LOCATION:
Sekenani is a small Camp, situated 6 km from the Sekenanai gate, just outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

DESCRIPTION:
Sekenani is a camp with a difference. Its unusual setting on the side of a grassy ridge, ensures the visitors complete privacy and magnificent views of the hills and plains beyond.
Opened in September 1990, the camp is the creation of Jean Marie Sabin and Nicholas Wood who have put all their energies into making Sekenani a truly African experience.


NUMBER OF ROOMS:
It has 15 tents each with a view. Privacy is ensured, as all the tents set well apart amid lush vegetation.

Room Amenities & Décor:
Each tent is raised high off the ground on wooden platforms, with big windows. You have a luxury of a big, elegant bathtub with brass taps and individual water heaters. The toilet seats are wooden. You will also find beautifully painted and hand carved chests with locks. All the floors are wooden. Although there is no electricity, the tents have hurricane lamps.

Special Feature:
Part of Sekenani's charm is the special atmosphere that goes with being small.

FOOD & BEVERAGE FACILITIES:
The dining area is a log and canvas structure open at both ends. You have to cross over a small ravine on a wooden bridge to reach it from your tent. There is a large stone terrace extending beyond the dinning area, where you can sit around a log fire and look out for game, private dinner parties or sundowners, bush banquets can also be arranged. Animals grazing on the plains in the distance provide mealtime game-spotting. Dining at Sekenani it's always a treat. Emphasis is on fresh gourmet meals and menus are announced by an immaculate waiter.
