Ngare Serian

Ngare Serian - Kenya tours accommodation

On the west bank of the Mara River, tucked between the river and the escarpment on its own 16km2 private conservancy, Ngare Serian is the sister camp of Serian, and faces the main camp, which is sited 100m upstream on the east bank within the Mara North Conservancy. The camp is owned by a veteran of the East African safari scene, Alex Walker.

Ngare Serian’s four capacious guest tents – they call them marquees, and that aptly suggests their size and appeal – sprawl along the riverside to the north of the bridge and dining-lounge tent. Widely spaced apart, they are mounted on relatively high-level platforms of chestnut-coloured, polished hardwood, and each tent faces out across the Mara River. The furthest tent, number 4, faces a broad pool in the river, where the local hippo pod is usually to be seen slumbering and snorting through the day. The hippos sometimes graze around the tent at night.
