Serian's Nkorombo Mobile

One of the only camps in the Mara with a fully Maasai (and utterly fantastic) team of staff, Nkorombo is cosy, intimate and very, very friendly. The mess tent is low-key, relaxed and chock full of enormous cushions and snug sofas for river-watching in style. Lunch is usually under canvas in the dining tent but look out for the roaming dinners - sometimes under the stars, sometimes down by the river, but always ending in a customary campfire soiree (whisky optional).

Tucked into a shady grove of olive trees, the five Selous-style tents are perfectly traditional canvas havens. Solar power and authentic bucket showers in the ensuite bathrooms are reminiscent of safaris of yester-year (and very eco-friendly) and weathered wood beds and canvas chairs add a touch of down-to-earth design. For a siesta to remember, unzip your canvas door and let the sounds of the burbling Mara River (and accompanying hippo!) lull you into a deep sleep…

As with all Serian camps, every guest is treated to a private guide and vehicle so game drives can be as long or as short as you like. Settle down next to the river for the day with a long lens and a picnic or hop back and forth from camp to wildebeest– the choice is yours! Hot air balloon safaris are also on offer for a different view of the migration and staying in camp never dull. Don’t expect much peace and quiet however – those wildebeest are never far away…
