Sekenani camp is located toward the Eastern end of the Masai Mara on the source of the Sekenani River, 6 kilometers from the main reserve gate on the Narok Keekorok road. Simple elegance and luxury is the Sekenani style.
Situated on the boundary of the Maasai Mara, fifteen luxury tents are set on thoughtfully sited platforms with each deck offering a beautiful view of the hills and plains beyond and the Sekenani river below where game and birdlife abound.
This small gem of a tented camp offers the comfort of private and spacious tents with full length baths. The cuisine is excellent, providing for all palates with a tantalizing array of freshly prepared dishes, and African cuisine is blended with international fare in a series of themed dinners.
The personal attention of the staff, most of whom are local Masai, and your host give one a feeling of well being, which mixed with the daily adventure and excitement of being in the untamed African bush, is a truly enriching experience. A tempting variety of special activities are offered at an extra charge. These range from private dinner parties and sundowners in the bush to game walks, fishing trips to Lake Victoria and balloon trips. Sekenani Camp is proud to be in the forefront of conservation efforts in the Maasai Mara and the Management and staff feel a strong connection with, and responsibility towards, the local community.

Ovenight: Serengeti Serena Lodge - Full Board
Set high on the saddle of tree-clad ridge commanding panoramic views over the endlessly rolling reaches and volcanic reefs of the Serengeti, the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate fusion of traditional African architecture and world-class style. Drawing its inspiration from the circular ‘Rondavel’ dwellings and winding paths of a traditional Maasai village, the Lodge features thickly-thatched, stone-built rooms, spaciously set amongst groves of indigenous trees that are cooled by sparkling streams and papyrus-fringed ponds.
The circular bar, its roof supported by massive carven figures of warriors, maidens and elders, looks out over the sky-blue, ‘vanishing horizon’ swimming pool towards the miles of lion-gold savannah that lie below, wherein is enacted the thunderous theatre of the million-strong wildebeest migration. As for views, from lilac-streaked sunrise, to diamond-domed night, the searingly sensational Serengeti delivers a series of timeless volcanic vistas that are second to none.

Ovenight: Ngorongoro Serena Lodge - Full Board
Perched on the jagged rim of the crater, wreathed in morning mist, camouflaged in river-stone and cloaked in indigenous creepers, the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a triumph of ecological and architectural fusion. Sensitively constructed so as to take nothing from its environment whilst affording endless vistas over the heat-shimmering reaches of the crater below, the clustered boulder-built buildings of the Lodge hug the crater rim, linked by rope-lashed timber walkways that skirt the buttressed roots of ancient, liana-hung trees.
The interior, radiating out from the primeval log fire glowing at the heart of the Lodge, blends the concentrated hush of a game-viewing hide with the ochre, rust and charcoal images of a prehistoric cavern. Lit by flaming wall-lanterns, clad in gigantic volcanic boulders and decorated by the iron spears, bright-beaded robes and intricately carven artefacts of the Maasai, the Lodge is a unique blend of world-class luxury, timeless volcanic splendour and ethnic style. As for the views, from lilac-streaked sunrise, to indigo star-studded night, the immeasurably ancient Ngorongoro Crater delivers a theatre of vistas, most unchanged since the dawn of time.

Standing high on the bluff of a dramatic ochre and terracotta streaked cliff above the flamingo-frosted expanse of Lake Manyara’s gleaming alkaline waters, the Lodge commands panoramic views across the volcano-studded floor of the Great Rift Valley.
Designed to reflect the brilliance of Lake Manyara’s unique birdlife, the Lodge draws on an inspirational architectural motif that melds swooping avian curves with the gentle concentric patterns of traditional Maasai ‘Bomas’ (encampments) whilst the vibrantly coloured frescoes lining the walls are designed to depict the colourful intricacy of bird migratory patterns.
The ambiance of the Lodge is a fusion of lakeside tranquillity, towering volcanic splendour and adventure-packed sporting activity.
