For our first trip to the Mara, we stayed for a week at Serian Camp. The tents were well equiped and the camp had a pleasant informal feeling. Alex, our host was charismatic and knowledgeable and most of all the camp was secluded. Even during game drives we met very few others and this is definitely not the mass tourist... more

the camp sits on a truly beautifull site on the Mara River, rooms are all tastefully elegant whilst remaining true to the bush feel. The staff and food at the camp were really impressive you really do get the feel of being at home away from home. Having a host like Alex Walker with all his wealth of knowledge and... more

Spent my 1st wedding anniversary at Serian just as it opened....In fact we were some of the first guests to be welcomed to magical Serian! - Spend 4 nights being spoilt and a great place to enjoy our anniversary. Great location in a private concession area in the greater Masai Mara, and this enables you to enjoy your safari away... more

Serian is simply amazing! Having been on over a dozen safaris and wilderness travels in several locations in Africa and India, covering even more parks, I can say that the Serian experience counts as one of the best. The camp is in a secluded valley on the bank of the Ol Are Orok River, a tributary of the Mara River.... more

I stayed at Serian for 4 nights in December '07, and loved every minute of it. We were looking for excellent game drives and luxurious tents, of course, but we also hoped to find a camp that was eco-friendly and collaborative with the local community. A lot to ask for – but we found it all, and more. First, the... more

I have been lucky to have had 4 great stays at Serian camp, and each of them with its own unique experience. I have been to the Mara a number of times and I have stayed at a wide variety of lodges (which I will not name), and personally I never used to enjoy them as I felt I was... more

I have just returned from a trip to Serian, where I stayed for a couple of nights. I am a Kenyan resident, but had a friend visiting from the Uk who had never experienced a safari. I wanted to share the wonder that is the masai mara with her and was advised to stay at Serian by a local travel... more

This was my first trip to Africa and I could not have been more delighted. As a woman in her 50s I was concerned about safety and being challenged beyond my physical limitations. I was absolutely made to feel safe- always escorted by Masai warriors at night and when requested. The staff were great; the service was terrific;; the food... more

We had a fantastic time at Serian. My sister's boyfriend had never been to Africa before and he was completely blown away. The camp is located on the bank of the Mara river, and it is magic to sit and enjoy the view from the raised platform, with the hippos snorting away in the river below. We went for several... more

Hello - Just back from a 10 night trip to the Masai Mara - Stayed at Serian camp. In summary - the people and service was first-class. Warm and welcoming staff right from our driver/spotter to the camp staff and management. The food and wine top class - something similar to the finest quality available world-wide. Rooms were superb. Canvas... more
