Serian

Serian - Mara conservancy accommodation

Perched quite high above the Mara River, where it cuts a broad valley along the western border of the Mara North Conservancy, Serian Camp is a small independent tented camp, owned by the established safari guide Alex Walker. It has two sister ‘Serian’ camps in the Mara ecosystem – one directly across the river and one inside the Maasai Mara National Reserve – and there are others in the Serengeti in Tanzania.

Serian is approached from the ‘main’ dirt road that cuts through the Mara North Conservancy. You drive across open plains, and then start to descend towards the river, where a bushier, rocky aspect takes over the landscape, before rolling into the camp’s expansive setting on the steep river bank. You may well be greeted by one of the camps resident waifs and strays – it was a young male impala on our last stay in April 2014.
