About Spirit of the Masai Mara
A boutique lodge of glass-fronted suites in Siana’s wooded hills — Maasai-owned land, leopard-rich valleys, and ten minutes to Sekenani Gate.
The area: Siana Conservancy
Hilly, wooded country east of the reserve beyond Sekenani, protected by around 3,000 Maasai landowners. A mix of high-end camps and community-run properties share the area.
What it's like
Beautiful broken terrain that hides elephant, buffalo and leopard; quieter drives plus walking and night drives outside the reserve rules.
Getting there & fees
Closest to Sekenani Gate — convenient for reserve day trips; Siana Springs and Keekorok airstrips serve the area.
Conservancy fees (typically US$100–150 per adult per night) are bundled into camp rates here and paid to Maasai landowning families; reserve entry fees apply only on days you cross into the reserve itself.
Plan around this stay
Seasons, wildlife and reserve fees are in the Masai Mara park guide. The year is broken down in the best time to visit the Masai Mara, and this price tier sits in context in what a Kenya safari costs in 2026. How this conservancy compares with the reserve is covered in conservancies vs the reserve.
