About Serian Ngare

Ngare Serian, the premier little sister to Serian 'The Original', nestled on the eastern bank of Mara North Conservancy. Ngare Serian captivates with its unparalleled charm, boasting breathtaking river vistas. Its four spacious marquee-style tents offer seclusion and comfort, accessible via a private footbridge.

Ngare Serian is nestled in the private Mara North Conservancy, and is also perfectly positioned to take advantage of our 1,500 acres of exclusive conservation area. ‘Ngare’ translates to ‘by the river’ in the Masai language and the idea behind this snug little camp was to transport the serenity of the original Serian Camp to the water’s edge. Hugging the banks of the Mara, Ngare Serian is cosy and intimate. It can only be reached on foot, over a narrow rope bridge – and in a way the crossover is symbolic: a call to step out of touch and out of time.

We recommend Serian Ngare selectively according to season, routing, room availability and the experience offered by the other stops in your itinerary.

01

Accommodation

Rooms & suites

Ngare Serian consists of only 4 tents, and this intimacy makes it perfect for hosting a family holiday, or gathering a group of friends. The tents are dotted along the riverbank, decked out in style with Zanzibar four-poster beds and open bathrooms overlooking pods of hippo. Take a leaf out the hippos’ book: lounge languidly, soaking up the sights and sounds of the bush from the bathtub built into your veranda decking. Tucked away in the conservation area, and a mere gentle stroll from camp, is ‘The Nest’, their tree house – a gorgeous sleep-out spot, or a perfect perch to have a picnic… In general a great extension of the peace and seclusion of Serian.
