Serian Serengeti North
Informal and seasonal camp to get you close to the migration action
This seasonal camp (set up only from mid-June to mid-November) provides the perfect migration experience for a hands-on family or group of friends.The camp itself lies in the Serengeti National Park, north of the Mara River near the Lamai Wedge, sitting in a hidden valley of the Wogakuria and is perfectly placed for the dramatic Mara river wildebeest spectacle.
Each of the 8 comfortable and spacious tents has an en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet and bucket shower and there’s 24-hour generator-powered electricity throughout. The candle-lit mess tent provides an elegant area for dining. Comfortable and jovial, the atmosphere at Serian Serengeti North is noticeably relaxed, informal and carries a real sense of adventure. For larger groups, the entire camp can easily be hired exclusively with the private use of the game vehicle.
Serian Serengeti North Camp boasts expert guides who will bring you to follow the herds and their accompanying predators as they negotiate the crossing. The vicinity of the camp also hosts a good variety of game, especially big cats. Guests at Serian will receive exclusive use of a private safari vehicle and guide at no extra cost.

Places to combine Serian Serengeti North with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
