Set alongside the Mara River in the Mara North Conservancy, Alex Walker’s Serian Camp in Kenya is an exclusive bush camp, consisting of just four tents plus a family tent.
Each of the luxury tents are fitted with a large double bed and an adjoining ‘bush bathroom’ which includes a shower, bush bathtub and flush loo. Complete privacy is ensured by means of hanging swathes of cotton and canvas walls.
Enjoy expansive views of the Mara River and the Oloololo escarpment when you wine and dine at the mess deck or simply cosy up in front of the indoor fireplace on a cool night. Serian Camp, with its rich warm textures and natural hardwoods, exudes a rather homely feeling.
The Maasai Mara, which sees the migration of one and a half million Wildebeest, Zebra and Topi during the months of July to November, is considered the ‘Jewel in the Crown of East Africa’. At camp, you’ll also get opportunities to go on 4WD off-road self drive safaris, horseback riding, day trips to Lake Victoria as well as filming, ballooning or cooking safaris.
