My sister and I had a fantastic 4 nights at Serian, 2 at main camp and 2 at mobile camp. Both were fabulous - the staff who looked after us were amazing and even after such a short time it felt like home. Mobile camp, in particular, on the banks of the river was a perfect haven away from the... More

Lovely location, well hidden and secluded with views directly over the Mara river. Great welcome and fantastic service, geared entirely around what we and the other guests wanted to do. Excellent food including freshly baked bread every day (terrible temptation). Also had an excellent guide (Steve) and an equally excellent driver (Onyango), a boon in conditions that had many other... More

My family spent an amazing 3 days at Serian. We were treated like Royalty in the most amazing surroundings. Fantastic food, staff and tents. We had our own itinerary planned so weren't tied into anything we didn't want to do. We had our own Landcruiser and driver at our beck and call which was really fantastic. 4 o'clock cake was... More

Wonderful five day stay in Kenya. Beautiful views from our tent. Our guide, Steve, and driver, Mikala, were extremely knowledgeable and excellent company. One day I did a walking safari that was extremely difficult, but well worth it, once you reached the top of the escarpment. The views were awesome. The great thing about Serian is that you have your... More

As first timers to The Mara, we did not know what to expect with our 3 nights in the Serian Mobile and 2 at the Serian lodge. Our experience far exceeded any expectations we had, so much so, we asked to spend all 5 nights in the mobile camp, which we did. The mobile camp, hosted by Mike with a... More

We recently took a long weekend here and absolutely loved it. Its about 45 mins outside the Mara in a private conservancy - lovely rocks and right by a river. Big tents, each very private, lovely views over the river, plenty of game (spent lots of time watching hippos from our tent terrace). It is clear the layout and design... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in Jan and to be honested were disappointed overall with serian. Firstly the positives! The position is excellent, right next to the river and the tents were well equipped and clean etc. The main dining area was attractive and it was nice to have a log fire at night. The guides, although not "polished"... More

For a first time safari goer and first time visitor to Africa - yet long time lover of the Masai Mara/Serengeti - picking a safari camp was no easy task. Luckily my travel agent strongly recommended Serian, and we decided to go with them. We stayed for 4 nights in August, during the peak of the Migration. We were amazed... More

As part of 3 weeks in Tanzania and Kenya, we booked 2 nights in the mobile camp and 3 in the main. The mobile camp was empty, only the two of us, which we loved. It is nothing fancy, but comfortable and right on the river where hippos live, so we had up close and personal hippo watching. We had... More

Dear Tiny Dancer, Thank you for your review of Serian, all the lovely things you had to say and the compliments on the food. We completely agree it would be a very goood idea to contact the camp before your trip to state your preference of vehicle. We are aware that our guests spend alot of time in their vehicle,... More
