A suspension bridge connects the guest tents with the dining room and bar area. Here, it is the turn of our talented chefs to entertain you with a variety of freshly prepared dishes and a well stocked bar. Special Feature: Part of Sekenani’s charm is the special atmosphere that goes with being small and intimate, along with the personalised service.
