Sekenani River Camp

Sekenani River Camp lies in a forested region that sees the source of the Sekenani River flow with life. The Masai Mara’s Sekenani Gate is only a short four miles away from the camp. The environment is tranquil and the main tented area is open and pristine. The dining area is set under a high, reeded roof with canvas walls, and a small sitting area is located in the main tent with bonfires and seating available on the verandah. The surrounding bush is lush and creates a perfectly intimate setting for the 15 secluded luxury tents, separated from the main public tent by a thrilling suspension bridge.

Guests can cool off in the inviting swimming pool, set among grass and trees or rest between game activities in the privacy of their tents on a small deck offering views of the surrounding wilderness. Guests can enjoy a beverage of their choice after their game drive or dinner or choose to gather around a crackling fire where they can discuss the day’s adventure. For those guests looking for that perfect local souvenir, a little gift shop is on-site too.

Flying into the Masai Mara from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport is a 50-minute flight into the Keekorok Airstrip, followed by a further 45-minute drive to the camp.

Rooms / Tents

A unique feature of Sekenani River Camp is the setup of its 15 luxury tents. The luxury canvas tents are located across the river, away from the main camp area, separated by a suspension bridge. Walking across the flexible bridge offers a thrilling chance to see animals below who may be coming to drink or simply walking by. Bedding can be made up as a Double or Twin Room, Triple which will have a Double bed plus two single beds and the option of a family tent offering one double bed and two singles or even three single.

Each tent has a private verandah and offers views over the bush. The tent walls and roof are beige in colour with wooden flooring and subtle splashes of colour. Furnishings are minimal, keeping the ambiance simple and classic, with a small sitting area and a desk placed in the room. The en-suite bathrooms have a bath and shower with standard amenities that can be found in the bathrooms for the guests’ use during their stay.
