Serian - The Original.

An Exclusive Escape in the Heart of the Wild

Serian Camp, part of the distinguished Alex Walker Collection, offers an unpretentious yet deeply comfortable safari experience. Located within the exclusive Mara North Conservancy, this traditional bush camp is the perfect launching point for exploring the conservancy and venturing into the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Guests enjoy top-tier service, with every tent assigned a private safari vehicle and expert guide to ensure a personalized adventure. A key highlight of staying in the conservancy is the absence of day visitors, allowing for a more private and immersive connection with nature. With fewer accommodations and guests, the conservancy provides a serene and exclusive wildlife experience, ideal for those eager to experience untamed Africa.

Designed to reflect the charm of classic safari camps, Serian – The Original features a central thatched gathering space with an inviting lounge and open-air dining area. The decor blends rustic elegance with cozy touches, from plush cream-colored sofas to dark wooden furnishings and a warm, crackling fireplace. The camp accommodates just twelve guests, maintaining an intimate and tranquil ambiance. Meals are crafted from fresh, organic ingredients, including crisp vegetables, vibrant salads, and ripe fruits sourced directly from the camp’s own garden.

The camp boasts six spacious tents, each featuring an adjoining bush bathroom with a large stone bathtub, twin sinks, a flushing toilet, and a refreshing shower that opens to breathtaking views of the Mara River valley. Interiors exude understated luxury, with plush four-poster beds, Persian rugs, dark wooden furnishings, and delicately draped mosquito nets. A wooden deck extends from each tent, furnished with daybeds and floor cushions, offering a peaceful spot to observe the hippos below. For a one-of-a-kind experience, guests can retreat to ‘The Nest,’ an enchanting treehouse perfect for overnight stays or secluded daytime picnics. Families will find added comfort in a spacious suite featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an expansive hardwood deck, designed for those seeking extra space and privacy in the heart of the wilderness.

Experiences at Serian – The Original

Serian- The Original provides an array of exciting activities tailored for an immersive safari adventure. One of the highlights is a personalized game drive in an open-top safari vehicle, accompanied by a dedicated guide and expert spotter. Each tent is assigned a private vehicle, ensuring total flexibility to linger at sightings and capture incredible wildlife moments. With their deep knowledge of the area, the guides and spotters excel at leading guests to the best locations for unforgettable encounters.

A major advantage of staying within the conservancy is the chance to embark on guided walking safaris. These morning excursions take you beyond the usual trails, offering a fresh perspective on the landscape. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the smaller details of the ecosystem while also having the chance to encounter elephants, hippos, buffalo, and other wildlife on foot. For a more adventurous experience, guests can opt for fly-camping, which involves trekking through the wilderness by day and sleeping in a lightweight tent under the stars.

Serian also offers thrilling night game drives, allowing you to witness the bush come alive after dark. For an even more extraordinary adventure, guests can take to the skies on a breathtaking hot air balloon safari (available at an additional cost).
