Serian’s Serengeti North Camp

Serian’s Serengeti North Camp

Serian’s Serengeti North Camp is a seasonal tented camp that captures the raw essence of safari in the northern reaches of the Serengeti, operating from mid-June through mid-November to coincide with the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration. It’s tucked into a secluded area near the Mara River, far from other lodges, offering guests front-row access to some of nature’s most intense and emotional wildlife moments. This intimate setting allows you to immerse yourself in the rhythms of the wilderness without the distraction of crowds or excessive infrastructure.

The camp is designed in a classic safari style, with an old-world charm that’s complemented by authentic touches, canvas tents, hand-carved furniture, soft lighting from lanterns, and the constant soundtrack of the bush. Each guest party enjoys a private vehicle, guide, and tracker team, which elevates the experience by making it flexible and personal. Whether you want to sit at a crossing for hours or follow a pride of lions at sunrise, every detail is tailored to your pace and interests.

Serian’s Serengeti North is also one of the few camps that offers truly immersive walking safaris led by expert trackers and guides. These slow, deliberate explorations of the land reveal the often-overlooked layers of the ecosystem, prints in the dust, hidden dens, medicinal plants, and the stories left behind by nocturnal creatures. With a campfire under the stars and no Wi-Fi or signal to distract, this is safari at its purest, wild, private, and deeply connected to place.

Highlights of Serian’s Serengeti North Camp

  • Unrivaled Proximity to the Migration Crossings: Located just minutes from the Mara River, the camp is ideally placed for witnessing the famed wildebeest river crossings, often without the crowds that gather near more accessible camps.

  • Completely Private Safari Experience: Every booking is assigned a dedicated 4WD vehicle, driver, and tracker, allowing full freedom over your safari schedule and wildlife focus. It’s a rare level of personalization that few camps match.

  • True Wilderness Feel with Walking Safaris: Serian’s is one of the few operations that specializes in walking safaris in the Serengeti. These guided walks bring you closer to nature and offer a perspective on wildlife that game drives can’t replicate.

  • Old-World Safari Charm: With classic canvas tents, elegant furnishings, and a no-Wi-Fi policy, the camp strips away modern noise and brings you back to the essence of safari, intimate, unfiltered, and deeply grounding.

  • Access to the Lamai Wedge: This lesser-known area of the Serengeti offers excellent year-round wildlife sightings, including lion, leopard, elephant, and cheetah, in a landscape of rolling hills and granite kopjes.

  • Intimate Camp Size: With only six tents, the camp maintains a relaxed, familial atmosphere. It’s perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking exclusivity and quiet immersion in nature.

  • Flexible Dining and Daily Planning: Meals are tailored to your preferences, whether you’d like a bush breakfast at sunrise or a candlelit dinner near the river. Nothing is rigid or pre-scheduled.
