‘Ngare’ translates to ‘by the river’ in the Masai language, and the idea behind this snug little camp was to transport the serenity of the original Serian camp to the water’s edge.
Hugging the banks of the Mara, Ngare Serian is cosy and intimate. It can only be reached on foot, over a narrow rope bridge – and in a way the crossover is symbolic: a call to step out of touch and out of time, and give yourself over to nature. There’s something special about being on the water’s edge – the water slipping over the stones sets a soothing soundtrack, but at the same time its energy and movement lend lightness and life – green shoots, verdant growth and glossy rocks that metamorphose into hippos.
Ngare is nestled in the private Mara North Conservancy and is also perfectly positioned to take advantage of the 1,500 acres of exclusive conservation area. If you ever dreamed of your own slice of Africa – this is it.
Ngare Serian consists of only 4 tents, and this intimacy makes it perfect for hosting a family holiday or gathering a group of friends.
The tents are dotted along the riverbank, decked out in style with Zanzibar four-poster beds and open bathrooms overlooking the hippos below. Soak up the sights and sounds of the bush from the bathtub built into your beautiful veranda decking.
