It's not the easiest place to get to and the recent extended and heavy rains have proved to be very destructive to the track that leads to the camp. However, it is very much worth the effort as the place has an authentic safari feel. The staff are lovely, happy, cheerful, polite and always ready to engage in conversation that shows genuine interest; not the 'plastic' interactions that you find in some places. Out tent was spotless, well equipped and beautifully located, looking out over a small valley. And in the evenings, when we returned from diner the bed had been turned down and there were hot water bottles!! A bit strange we though, but the nights here can get a bit chilly, despite day time temperatures in the mid-20s. A variety of birds, monkeys, baboons and a whole host of passing wildlife, much of it at night only adds to the experience. A small suspension bridge links the accommodation to the dining and administration area, pretty much a unique feature that again sets Sekenani apart from others. The food is good and served with a smile. We arrived very late and hungry, lunch was over but within a few minutes we were sat down enjoying a delicious meal. There seems to be a Genet cat that makes itself at home in the dining area, and that is a great bonus, although one of the smallest cats their markings are beautiful and I would imagine they are great at keeping unwanted 'visitors' at bay. If there is one place we would go back to from our recent visit to Kenya it would be here.
