Alex Walker's Serian
Kenya
Alex Walker’s Serian in Kenya is set within the Mara ecosystem, where open plains, river systems and private conservancies create a more intimate and flexible safari experience.
With a name derived from the Maasai word for “serene,” Serian’s approach here is rooted in simplicity, privacy and a strong connection to place. Working across both the Masai Mara Reserve and the exclusive Mara North Conservancy, the camps offer access to some of the region’s most wildlife rich areas, while maintaining a sense of space and distance from busier routes.

A glimpse into Serian’s Kenya
Private guiding comes as standard, allowing complete flexibility and a more personal way to explore the Mara.
Access to the Mara North Conservancy offers a quieter, low density safari experience with the freedom to walk, go off road and explore at your own pace.
A strong focus on walking, fly camping and nights out in the bush brings a deeper connection to the landscape beyond the vehicle.

Serian ‘The Original’
Serian ‘The Original’ sits within the private Mara North Conservancy, in a quiet position above the Mara River. As the first of Alex Walker’s camps, it reflects a simple and considered approach to safari, focused on space, privacy and time spent in the field. Access to a low density conservancy and private guiding allows each day to unfold at its own pace, shaped by wildlife movement rather than routine.
