Alex Walker’s Serian | Intimate Safari Camps Kenya & Tanzania
Alex Walker’s Serian is a premier collection of exclusive, intimate safari camps located across the prime wildernesses of Kenya and Tanzania. Founded by fourth-generation East African guide and filmmaker Alex Walker, the brand focuses on authentic, highly flexible, and immersive bush experiences rather than rigid itineraries or over-commercialized luxury.
The name “Serian” originates from the Maasai language, meaning “peaceful, calm, or tranquil”.
In Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti, Serian camps—created by East African guiding icon Alex Walker’s Serian—offer some of the most genuine safari lodgings. These eco-camps, hidden in desirable locations, exude great distinctiveness. Others are mobile tented camps that move around the vast Masai-Serengeti environment and set up camp in the path of the Great Migration. One is only accessible by bridge.
With the sole use of a 4×4 and a professional guiding and tracking team, a Serian camp places a strong focus on the exclusivity of the game-viewing experience. Flexibility is essential, and visitors may anticipate customized guidance tailored to their requirements and interests. There are no defined times for activities, and visitors can take their own private vehicles, guides, and spotters for the morning, afternoon, and evening game drives. Among the most well-liked activities are hot-air balloon safaris and full-day safaris with picnic lunches.

At the numerous camps, taking pictures is both encouraged and taught, and Serian also emphasizes the value of walking around Africa’s largest reserve. Experiences with Serian’s famed guides include led bush hikes and overnight fly camping excursions that are not quickly forgotten.
The ideal time to visit a Serian camp should be discussed with a Kabira Safari expert. Located around the Masai Mara and Serengeti, each offers a distinctive experience according to the season. At every camp, however, you will experience first-rate assistance and guidance, delectable cuisine, and luxurious comfort.

Ngorongoro Safaris
When booking a Ngorongoro safari with Alex Walker’s Serian, your base of operations will be Serian’s Serengeti South. Despite its name, this mobile camp is actually physically located inside the north-western Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), positioned right on the edge of the southern Serengeti short-grass plains.
Masai Mara Safaris
A safari in Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara with Alex Walker’s Serian offers a dual-ecosystem advantage. Because the Serian properties span across both the exclusive private Mara North Conservancy and the central Masai Mara National Reserve, guests can seamlessly experience two completely different styles of safari.
Serengeti Safaris
A safari in the Serengeti with Alex Walker’s Serian is designed around a single, foundational rule: following the millions of wildebeest and zebras making up the Great Migration. Rather than anchoring you to a permanent concrete lodge, Serian uses ultra-flexible, luxury mobile camps that pack up and move across the Serengeti ecosystem as the seasons shift.

Alex Walker’s Serian lodging is some of the most genuine in East Africa, hidden away in the Masai Mara and Serengeti.
