Discover Sekenani Gate
This existing record, previously labelled Sekani Gate, represents Sekenani Gate on the Narok side of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. It is a road gateway, not an overnight area. The Mara Conservancy identifies the Narok–Sekenani approach and distinguishes Narok-side entry from entry into the Mara Triangle at Purungat Bridge.
