Rudraa Marketing has been appointed as the official India representative for Sentrim Hotels & Lodges, one of Kenya’s leading safari hospitality brands. The partnership marks a significant step towards strengthening Sentrim’s presence in the Indian market and expanding its engagement with the Indian travel trade.
Sentrim Hotels & Lodges currently operates five distinctive properties across some of Kenya’s most sought-after destinations—Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Elementaita, Tsavo East and Mombasa. Each property has been thoughtfully designed to offer guests an authentic Kenyan experience while maintaining the highest standards of comfort, hospitality and sustainable tourism. Whether witnessing the Great Migration in the Masai Mara, enjoying un-obstructed views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, relaxing on the shores of the UNESCO-listed Lake Elementaita, experiencing the untamed wilderness of Tsavo East, or discovering the rich Swahili heritage of Mombasa’s Old Town, Sentrim offers guests unforgettable experiences across Kenya’s most celebrated destinations.
To gain first-hand insight into the brand, Ms. Nikita Rawtani, Founder of Rudraa Marketing, recently travelled to Kenya on a familiarization trip, visiting Sentrim’s properties in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Elementaita.
The visit enabled her to experience the unique character of each property while exploring the diverse experiences available to Indian travellers.
Among the highlights was Sentrim Mara Lodge, strategically located inside the park just few minutes from the Masai Mara National Reserve gate, allowing guests to maximize their time on game drives while minimizing transfer times. At Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, the breathtaking view deck offers uninterrupted panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest free-standing mountain while Sentrim Elementaita Resort, nestled along the tranquil shores of Lake Elementaita offers exceptional birdwatching opportunities including frequent sightings of flamingos, spectacular landscapes and a peaceful retreat within Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
Across every property, guests enjoy thoughtfully appointed accommodation, locally inspired and international cuisine, wellness facilities, curated safari experiences and the genuine warmth of Kenyan hospitality that has become synonymous with the Sentrim brand.
Speaking on the appointment, Ms. Nikita Rawtani, Founder, Rudraa Marketing, said:
Representing Sentrim Hotels & Lodges in India is an exciting milestone for Rudraa Marketing. My visit to Kenya reaffirmed that every Sentrim property offers something truly unique—from its exceptional locations and warm hospitality to outstanding cuisine and thoughtful guest experiences. Beyond the locations, what impressed me most was the warmth of the people at Sentrim, the exceptional hospitality, the quality of food and most noteworthy – Sentrim’s MD Mr. Paren Hirani’s attention to detail and the genuine passion for creating memorable guest experiences. I am confident that Indian travelers and the travel trade will appreciate the authenticity, comfort and value that Sentrim offers as a brand, and we look forward to building strong partnerships across India.”
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Paren Hirani, Managing Director, Sentrim Hotels & Lodges, said:
“India is a year round destination for Kenya and one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing outbound travel markets. We see tremendous potential in welcoming more Indian guests to Kenya. At Sentrim, our vision has always been to create authentic, memorable and sustainable tourism experiences while showcasing the very best of Kenya. Every lodge reflects our commitment to exceptional hospitality, responsible tourism and personalized service. We are delighted to partner with Rudraa Marketing and we look forward to working closely with the Indian travel fraternity and welcoming more Indian families, honeymooners, wildlife enthusiasts, leisure travelers and MICE groups to experience the magic of Kenya with Sentrim.”
Under the visionary leadership of Managing Director, Mr. Paren Hirani and Chairman Mr. Harji Hirani, Sentrim Hotels & Lodges continues to redefine hospitality in Kenya through sustainable tourism practices, guest-centric experiences and continuous innovation. The group’s commitment to preserving Kenya’s natural heritage while delivering world class hospitality has positioned Sentrim as one of the country’s most trusted safari hospitality brands.
As the official India representative, Rudraa Marketing will lead Sentrim’s sales, marketing and trade engagement initiatives across the Indian market. The company will work closely with travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers, MICE planners and strategic partners to enhance destination awareness, promote Kenya as a preferred holiday destination and drive business to Sentrim’s portfolio of hotels and lodges.
