Where You'll Stay

Entumoto Safari Camp perches elevated on the Megwarra escarpment in the Mara Siana Conservancy, commanding breathtaking views and spectacular sunsets over the Masai Mara plains [1][4]. Located on the north-east border of the Masai Mara National Reserve between the Oloolaimutia and Sekenani gates, the camp occupies a secluded valley with its own private conservancy teeming with game [2][6].

The camp's name—"Entumoto," meaning "meeting point" in the Maa language—perfectly captures its location where plains meet hills and two valleys converge [3][4]. This positioning offers guests an intimate, exclusive safari experience with direct access to the Masai Mara while maintaining complete seclusion in unfenced conservancy land [2][13].
