Alex Walker's Serian Serengeti North

Alex Walker’s Serian operates two distinct seasonal camps within the Serengeti, each offering a unique and unforgettable experience. When the camp is not stationed in Kogatende, known as Serian Serengeti North, it finds its home in a private segment of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, situated further south than its competitors. This secluded wilderness enclave offers an unrivaled natural setting, setting it apart from other mobile tented camps. In the southern Serengeti, Alex Walker’s Serian boasts two camps: Serian Kusini and Serian Serengeti South.

Serian Kusini, located to the west of the Ndutu cluster and on the border of the Maswa reserve, features just four identical tents. These tents are elegantly appointed, complete with en-suite bathrooms featuring flushing toilets and bucket showers. While there isn’t running water, the camp compensates with excellent guiding, culinary offerings, and service, all in line with Alex Walker’s renowned safari ethos.

What truly distinguishes the southern Serian Serengeti camp is its unparalleled location. Despite being situated outside the Serengeti’s boundaries, this camp offers an excellent chance to witness the grandeur of the great migration. Moreover, guests have an array of activities to choose from. Specializing in walking safaris, the camp offers picturesque strolls along the shores of the nearby seasonal salt lake, Lake Eyasi. The option of fly-camping, where guests can spend nights under the twinkling stars, adds a unique dimension to the experience. An exceptional feature not commonly found in the Serengeti is the opportunity to immerse oneself in traditional African culture, notably with the Hadzabe tribe, the last of Africa’s traditional hunter-gatherer communities, who reside along the northern bank of Lake Eyasi.

Adding to the allure of Alex Walker’s Serian Serengeti South is the inclusion of a private vehicle accompanied by both a driver and spotter, ensuring an unparalleled safari adventure.

To the northwest, Serian Kusini features six tents, making it a perfect choice for larger groups seeking exclusive rentals or honeymooners craving a more intimate safari. Moreover, Serian Kusini offers off-road game driving, a rarity in the Serengeti. The combination of stays at both camps has become increasingly popular, enhancing the chances of witnessing the migration while allowing guests to savor the Alex Walker safari experience over an extended period.

When planning a Serengeti safari, one of the most significant decisions is the type of camp that best suits your preferences. Permanent lodges, while typically pricier, offer more amenities such as swimming or plunge pools, making them ideal for families with children seeking daytime water activities. In contrast, mobile camps like Alex Walker’s Serian are synonymous with the Serengeti experience. They follow the wildebeest migration, providing exceptional value for money and ensuring strategic positioning to observe the migration year-round. Mobile camps offer a profound immersion in nature, evoking the authentic ‘Out of Africa’ ambiance that entices countless visitors to East Africa.
