SERIAN (meaning “peaceful, calm or serene” in the Maa language of the Maasai people)
An exclusive
wilderness camp set alongside a secluded valley flanking the Mara
River close to the Siria Escarpment. The private marquee tents are set
in the shade of large Oleadendra & Walburgia trees that cover the
site, a tranquil setting that borders one of the finest Game Reserves
in the world. The “bedroom” marquee is fitted with large double beds flanked by twin bedside tables and a writing desk. The adjoining “bush bathroom” area includes a shower, twin basins, and large bush bathtub and flush toilet. Hanging swathes of cotton and canvas walls provide complete privacy. The Mess deck and indoor fireplace leave one with the impression of having found a home from home! Enjoying an expansive view of the Mara river and the Oloololo escarpment, the deck area plays host to a great deal of wining & dining. Ngare-Serian is a four-tent extension on the other side of the Mara River upstream from the main camp. Access is via foot-bridge!
