Alex Walker’s Serian – Serengeti North Camp
Premier
Overview
Serian's Serengeti North is a seasonal camp operating in the far northern reaches of the Serengeti National Park. The landscape is reminiscent of scenes from Out of Africa, and there is plenty of freedom to roam and explore. The camp is situated opposite Crossing Point 4, midway among all crossing points along the river – and is perfectly positioned to spectate the wildebeest river crossings.
Away from the river, this area of rolling savannah, boulder-strewn hillsides and fig-tree groves, is littered with inconceivably enormous herds of wildebeest, topi and zebra – as well as all the predators that gorge on this movable feast. Needless to say, the game-viewing we have access to is world-class. Cheetah, lion and elephant especially make for fantastic sighting, but it’s not unheard of to see the Big Five in a day.
From June to November Serian's Serengeti North lies in a hidden valley of the Wogakuria alongside the sinuous Mara River. Decamping southward to the short grass plains in mid December we sift our way through the birthing season when this whole area comes alive with thousands of newborn wildebeest.
Immense panoramas are awash with voluble hordes of wildebeest, brim full of thespian drama. Newborn calves delight in their gangly mobility, whilst mega herds swarm the banks nosing out suitable crossing points. Vast concentrations of wildebeest mix with other ungulates whilst indulgent Lion, Cheetah and Leopard pursue and delight in the smorgasbord of nomadic mega herds.

By day, the living room is ideal for lounging and reading, lazy snoozing, playing board games or sorting through the day’s photos… In short, anything that entails spreading out and relaxing in a comfortable space.
