CROCODILE ROCKS
The Great Migration has captured the imagination of many, but few know that the true secret is to precede it with the freedom and exclusivity of Kenya’s private conservancies. The Serengeti’s river crossings can attract the crowds, and park restrictions keep you on the roads – but Mara North Conservancy’s limited membership, off-roading, night-driving and roaming free provide the perfect counterpoint in this symphonic safari itinerary.

Any Hotel of your choice
Ngare Serian is cozy, relaxed and the perfect base to start your safari: set along a riverbank teeming with laughing languorous hippo, the game is never far away. Explore in one of our safari vehicles, or take a walk on the wild side and head out on foot – both will bring different levels and layers to your experience… And top it off with a nocturnal adventure: take a bush dinner and red-filter spotlights and discover what the wilderness has to offer by way of nightlife. NIGHTS AT NGARE SERIAN
Set in our own conservation area that no one has access to but us, we have built a little tree house above a lively salt lick on the Mara River. A fantastic position to perch and watch the world go by, by night nothing but branches between you and the stars. Walking this wild space, you will feel the opening of your senses, sharpening in response to the immediacy of the wilderness: vision, sound, smell all respond to the challenge of perceiving and reading the primordial signals of the bush. NIGHT AT “THE NEST”
The Lamai Wedge is a golden triangle defined by the Kenyan border on top, and the Mara River below, and remarkable for the beauty of the landscape as well as for fantastic sightings of predators and black rhino. Our camp is poised for action just above one of the major wildebeest crossing points, promising plenty of drama and action. Away from the river, absorb the mesmerising savannah, and spend quality time seeking out and hanging with animals. Have a picnic under a tree: channel the full-bellied lions and gaze up at the sunlight dappling through the leaves. NIGHTS AT SERIAN’S SERENGETI LAMAI
Wend your way to the Lamai airstrip and enjoy a leisurely game drive en route, before boarding the plane and hopefully catching a crossing from the sky!
