Sentrim Mara Lodge

Sentrim Mara Lodge sits on the edge of the Masai Mara's Aitong plains, positioned to catch the reserve's famous open light without the density of camps found closer to the river crossings. Tented cottages are spaced generously through the grounds, each with a private veranda that looks straight out over grassland where game passes close enough to watch from a deckchair.

The lodge runs at a scale that still allows for genuinely personal service — a communal fire pit for evening stories, a dining room that shifts easily between a full breakfast spread and a candlelit dinner, and guides who know the migration's seasonal patterns well enough to place vehicles ahead of the herds rather than chasing them. It's a strong base for both first Mara visits and repeat migration-season trips.
