Serian The Original

SERIAN (meaning “peaceful, calm or serene” in the Maa language of the Maasai people) is the charismatic bush home of Alex Walker, filmmaker and guide in the Maasai Mara.

It is an exclusive bush camp that flanks a secluded valley located alongside the Mara River. The private marquee tents overlook the river and are set in the shade of large walburgia trees that cover the site, a tranquil setting that borders one of the finest Game Reserves in the world.

Seven private (including one family) marquees, each unique in their own way furnished with large double beds, flanked by bedside tables and writing desks, the adjoining "bush bathrooms" include a shower, twin basins, large bush bathtub and flush ceramic toilet. Hanging swathes of cotton and canvas walls provide complete privacy. Each tent has a furnished veranda and is on the hillside high above the river.

The Mess deck and indoor fireplace leave guests with the impression of having found a home from home! Enjoying an expansive view of the Mara River and the Oloololo escarpment, the deck area plays host to a great deal of wining & dining.
