Sentinel Mara Camp

Sentinel Mara Camp is an intimate, eco-friendly safari camp nestled in a riverine forest along the banks of the Mara River within Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara National Reserve. Its prime location in the Musiara Marsh area, famous for being the filming site of BBC’s Big Cat Diaries and Disney’s African Cat, offers guests exceptional access to some of the Mara’s most prolific wildlife viewing, including the dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration.

The camp features eight spacious, well appointed tents that blend traditional East African safari elegance with modern comfort. Each tent is thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy and stunning views of the Mara River, where guests can observe hippos, crocodiles, and other wildlife from their private verandas. The camp’s design emphasizes sustainability, utilizing solar power and eco-friendly practices to minimize its environmental footprint.

Sentinel Mara Camp offers a personalized safari experience, with bespoke itineraries tailored to individual preferences. Guests can enjoy expertly guided game drives, nature walks, and cultural visits, all led by knowledgeable Maasai guides. The camp’s commitment to conservation and community engagement ensures that each stay contributes positively to the preservation of the Masai Mara ecosystem and the well-being of local communities.
