Serian Nkorombo
Location: Masai Mara, Kenya
Nkorombo is Serian’s tented mobile camp, set on a private riverside site in the Masai Mara Reserve. This snug little setup is chock-full of character with a view over the rushing Mara River, bursting with laughing hippo and languorous crocodiles. Life at Nkorombo is low-key and tranquil. Nestled among a stand of wild olive and orange croton, the camp is right next to a lively salt lick that regularly features black rhino, lion, and leopard on the lookout for a kill. There is an abundance of prey in this area, and it’s the perfect spot for spectacular game viewing.

Serian’s Nkorombo has more of a traditional tented feel and is thoroughly canvas, touches of the time-honoured safari showers are a nod to the differences between fixed and mobile camps.
Designed to blend seamlessly into its stunning surrounds, it comprises five spacious ‘Selous style’ tents decked out in safari style of yore: leather, weathered wood, gauzy swathes of cotton, all lend accents to the essential, beautiful and comfortable style that defines Nkorombo. The en suite bathrooms blend wilderness and luxury, with flush toilets and bucket showers.
The cornerstone of a safari experience at Serian is that each group has their own open-top safari vehicle, and their own dedicated guide and spotter. The freedom this grants you is key to getting the most out of your stay: go where the day takes you, be it a full day out with a picnic in the wilderness, or a lazy siesta back in camp before that ice-cold sundowner… guides have an intimate familiarity with the landscape, and will translate and render it until you see it through their eyes.

Serian’s The Original
Location: Masai Mara, Kenya
The Mara is Kenya’s natural extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti plains. Although best known for the spectacular wildebeest migration, Mara teems with an abundance of animals all year round. Outside migration season, October to mid-December and February to June are blissfully empty, boasting the best game-viewing in Africa: proximity, accessibility, and sheer variety of game, condensed in a small space.
It lies in the private Mara North Conservancy, and the beauty of this location is that only 10 other camps have access to it so the feeling of having your own personal piece of Africa is a luxury that we have in spades.
