Enkaji means ‘Home’ in Masai

Home Reimagined

We are situated 15 minutes drive from the
main Sekenani gate of the world-recognised
Masai Mara.
• Our lodge overlooks the Masai Mara.
• The Masai Mara, often simply referred to as
“The Mara,” is one of Kenya’s most renowned
and breathtaking wildlife reserves. This vast
expanse of rolling savannah, dotted with
acacia trees and teeming with life, offers an
unparalleled safari experience that captures
the essence of Africa’s wilderness.

Our Eco Lodge is deeply committed to supporting the Masai community, recognising that our
success and sustainability are intertwined with the well-being and prosperity of the local people.
Here’s how we embrace our social responsibilities towards the Maasai.

Community Engagement and Empowerment

We actively engage with the Masai community
to understand their needs and priorities.
Through regular consultations, we collaborate
on initiatives that support local development,
ensuring that our projects align with the
community’s goals and values.

Cultural Preservation

We celebrate and preserve Masai culture by
showcasing their traditions, crafts, and customs
to our guests. This not only enriches the visitor
experience but also provides the Masai with a
platform to share their heritage and gain
recognition for their cultural contributions.

Economic Opportunities

Our lodge creates employment opportunities for
local Masai residents, offering training and fair
wages. We also support local entrepreneurship
by sourcing goods and services from
Masai-owned businesses, thereby stimulating
the local economy.

Community-Based Tourism

We involve the Masai in tourism activities,
allowing them to guide tours, share traditional
knowledge, and participate in cultural
exchanges. This not only provides them with
additional income but also fosters a greater
appreciation for their way of life among visitors.

Respect for traditions and values

We ensure that all interactions with the Masai are respectful and culturally sensitive.
Our staff undergoes cultural training to understand and honour Masai customs and traditions, fostering
positive and respectful relationships. Through these initiatives, our Eco Lodge strives to make a meaningful
and positive impact on the Masai community, ensuring that our presence contributes to their well-being and supports their long-term sustainability.

Architecture and Design

At Mara Enkaji, our architecture is a reflection of the land we call home. Every detail is designed to
honour the beauty of the Masai Mara, celebrate Maasai culture, and support sustainable living.
