About Serian 'The Original'

Serian 'The Original' is a small, traditional camp located in the Masai Mara's Mara North Conservancy. It was the first built of Serian collection and thus is known as 'The Original'. It epitomises a luxury, authentic Kenya safari experience with the focus being on top-quality guiding in superb wildlife locations.

Experience the charm of the property amidst the treetops, where the mess area, library, and dining space seamlessly blend into a wooden decking, adorned with gnarled trees emerging through the floorboards. Enjoy the cozy ambiance with ample low-slung seating, an inviting indoor fireplace, and the option for G&Ts upon request. Nearby, the fabulous Treehouse offers a serene retreat among the trees, perfect for a peaceful siesta while overlooking the vast expanse of the Mara.

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