NGARE SERIAN
‘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, and give yourself over to the natural charm of the place. There’s something special about being on the water’s edge – the water slipping and sloshing over the stones sets a soothing soundtrack, but at the same time its energy and movement lends lightness and life – green shoots, verdant growth and glossy rocks that metamorphose into hippos.

Our Naughty Neighbours

“One in a Million Mara” with PIR: Penny Robartes

The Mara North Conservancy really is a “one in a million” destination that is teeming with wildlife. I don’t think I have heard of a guest returning to either Serian “The Original” or Ngare Serian… Read More

Looking for Leopard

Every photographer has a ‘bogey critter’ – the one they are always unlucky with.  Mine has been the leopard – or chui in Swahili.  I’ve near-missed them all over Africa, India and Sri Lanka more… Read More
