Where You'll Stay

Maji Moto Eco Camp sits atop a hilltop in the Loita Hills near Maji Moto village, overlooking vast savannah plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve [1]. Located just 1 hour from the Sekenani Gate and 3 hours from Nairobi by road, this community-managed camp offers the perfect blend of accessibility and authentic cultural immersion [2].

Designed in harmony with the environment, the camp's Masai-style structures reflect traditional building methods using natural local materials [1]. This is more than accommodation—it's a genuine window into Maasai traditions and everyday life that sets it apart from conventional safari lodges.

• Dining Atmosphere: Communal and intimate settings that encourage cultural exchange between guests and staff

Though some guests note that certain items and activities (like Maasai village visits) incur additional fees, meals are consistently praised for authenticity and value [5].

Property Amenities

Maji Moto prioritizes eco-friendly, sustainable design over luxury amenities, offering a rustic yet comfortable cultural experience [1]. The camp's focus on authentic immersion means facilities are simple but functional.
