Overview
Sentinel Mara Camp is an owner run luxury tented camp tucked away in a forest along the banks of the Mara River within the Masai Mara National Reserve.
This boutique camp is well hidden within the riverine forest so that you don’t know that you are approaching until you are actually in this gorgeous little camp.
Accommodation
There are only 8 spacious en suite tents together with the lounge and dining tent along the river in the forest offering excellent privacy. Specially designed campaign furniture adorns the camp creating the elegant atmosphere of the traditional East African (Out of Africa) safari. Sentinel offers guests the experience of being authentically close to nature combined with attention to detail and safari elegance.
Wildlife
The high standard of guiding will have guests thrilled and entertained whether on a game drive or a 1 hour walk in the region of the camp. Our bespoke approach ensures the daily agenda of each group of visitors is tailor made and flexible taking their personal preferences into account. We are fortunate to have 4 different ecozones on our doorstep, with both the BBC’s Big Cat Dairies and Disney’s African Cats being filmed in the area. In keeping with our environmental values the camp has minimum impact on the environment.
Food
The dining and lounge tents are at the center of the camp with its amazing view and there is a well appointed area where you can enjoy a drink around the camp fire in the evenings. Delicious and varied meals from fresh food are prepared daily by our 3 chefs. Whether in the dining tent watching hippo and crocodile in the river below, soaking up the untamed vistas during a champagne bush breakfast or enjoying the romance of a starlit four course dinner you will have a fine dining experience.
Activities
in addition to the usual safari activities. We will gladly arrange a balloon safari or visit to a Masai village. For guests wanting to Longer safari walks we hire an armed ranger to accompany them.
