I recently spent 12 days at the Serian Camp on the Mara River in the North Mara Conservancy and I have to say that it was absolutely wonderful! Super staff, luxury bush accommodations, and great food! As a nature and wildlife photographer, I was especially interested in photographing a wide variety of wildlife and I was able to do just that! Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, gazelles, dikdiks, elans, waterbucks, hippos, baboons, monkees, eagles, vultures, zebras, wildebeests, cranes, giraffes, hyenas, mongooses, antelope, buffalo, hyraxes, kingfishers, owls, warthogs, crocodiles, starlings, storks, and more. I highly recommend The Serian Camp!

From the moment we exited the small plane to a welcoming committee of Dominick (our guide), Dennis (our driver), and a rather large group of giraffes, we knew we were in a special place with terrific people.

We started the first game drive immediately-and the love affair began-each and every drive (two a day) brought something new and exciting. Just when you really thought you had seen it all, something unique happened and you once again experienced the awe that is Africa.

Adrian, Roshin and their staff met us at the end of the suspension bridge with a warm welcome and beverages. As they brought us to our 'tents' (really gorgeous rooms!), we were once again given a natures greeting with a large pod (maybe 30+) if hippos that seemed equally pleased to see us. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing them every day-what a wake up call! It could have been difficult to leave the comfort of the huge bed (complete with a wonderfully warm hot water bottle), but the excitement of the days possibilities had us up early and ready to go.

We were treated like family (actually royalty) and the meals could be considered fine dining-lots of variety, very tasty and the presentation impressive.

As a first time traveler to Africa I must admit I was a little concerned from a safety standpoint-my family fairly accuses me of being a worrier. All fears were allayed immediately as we could clearly see this team knows what they are doing and have tremendous respect for the surroundings.

Dominick and Dennis are extremely knowledgeable and freely shared information and patiently answered each and every question-and there were loads of those! They made it so fun and quite the learning experience as well. Our group included my daughter, son-in-law and myself. We traveled in a great vehicle with an open top that allowed for spotting and observing game with very close proximity. We spotted-at last count- 30 different mammals and 70 different birds.

Also enjoyed the mobile camp- Craig and his team were also extremely welcoming and provided at atmosphere of fun and safety. Meals once again shared the feel of a fine dining experience. Can't imagine how they do this, but they do!

If you have ever considered an African vacation-DO IT! Alex Walker's Serian Camp far exceeded my expectations and wildest dreams! If you have not considered an African vacation, I would encourage it-definitely the experience of a lifetiime and I'm so very grateful for having enjoyed the people and critters of Kenya.

Very warm welcome from Roshin the manager. Very nice furnishment in the tents. Outstanding food. Excellent guide Dominic.
I was here as a travelagent and have been visiting lodges throughout whole East- en Southern Africa and I can say is was perfect all over.

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 world. In all we had 4 weeks travelling on safari and Serian is the place that has stayed with me the most. Even without the game drives, this would be the perfect place to disappear for a few days with wonderful hospitality, excellent food & drinks and a good book! Highly recommended and I hope to return one day.
