About Serian Adventure Camping

Expedition-style walking safaris and nights beneath the stars
The description says it all – Adventure Camping. So if you’re wondering what to expect, picture the intrepid explorers of old who spent long days on foot ending at a makeshift camp, with just the basics for survival. Think about getting back to nature and experiencing the wilderness with all of your senses. You’ll walk across pristine plains, scramble up rocky hills, and camp each night in a different spot in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, close to Lake Eyasi. If you’re looking for an authentic safari experience with a hefty dose of adventure, then this is it.

Property details

The property

At the end of each day’s walk, a fly camp awaits in a glorious location that requires nothing more than chairs around a campfire and a rudimentary open-air kitchen. Dinner, and early morning coffee and breakfast, are prepared on the fire, with water for washing heated on request. Absolute simplicity is a sure-fire way to reconnect with nature. In fact, the only sign of civilisation you’re likely to encounter will be the melodious clinking of ice cubes in your sundowner.

The rooms

Tents are lightweight and simple, large enough for two people, and kitted out with comfortable beds and proper linen which you’ll really appreciate after a long day on foot. Your open-air bathroom consists of a canvas wash basin filled with hot water when needed, and there’s an eco-loo in a secluded spot a short distance from the tents. The absence of unnecessary mod cons puts the emphasis firmly on experiencing nature, so be prepared for a real back-to-basics experience.

Activities

Days are spent exploring on foot. With this in mind, it won’t be the large dangerous species that you’ll be looking for. Together with your specialist guide and tracker, you’ll discover the elements of the bush that are often overlooked during game drives – tracks, signs, insects, birds and plants. If you do feel like a change of pace and a closer look at some of the bigger game, there’s a game-viewing vehicle at your disposal.
