Nkorombo is located right next to a lively salt lick, and sightings often feature black rhino, as well as lion and leopard on the lookout for kill. There is an abundance of prey in this area, and it’s the perfect spot for spectacular game viewing – and from June to November, it’s a front-row seat for watching the wildebeest as they make their crossings of the Mara river mere metres away. After the morning game drive and breakfast, you will be transferred to Serian The Original where you will stay for four nights. Arrive in time for lunch and an afternoon activity.
Serian The Original was the first of Alex’s camps, and it perfectly captures the essence of its name: meaning ‘peaceful, calm, serene’ in the Masai language, it was designed to be a retreat from the bustle of contemporary life, and a chance to experience untamed Africa in traditional tented splendor. It lies in the private Mara North Conservancy, and the beauty of this location is that only 10 other camps have access to it – so the feeling of having your own personal piece of Africa is a luxury that we have in spades. A word that often springs to mind here is ‘lush’: generous rainfall, sumptuous greenery, and an all-round feeling of richness, fertility, and abundance.

Game Drives
The cornerstone of a safari experience at Serian is that each group has their own open-top safari vehicle, and their own dedicated guide and spotter. The freedom this grants you is key to getting the most out of your stay: go where the day takes you, without the limitations of fixed schedules, or fitting in with other peoples’ plans. Nothing but personal desire need dictate what you do. The vehicles are specially customized to be a climbing frame, and a photographer’s extra tool. They are comfortable, able to handle the terrain, and cover the distance…. And were designed for sun, rain, wind, and above all, the feeling of having as little as possible separating you from what’s out there. Our guides and spotters are intimately familiar with these special places, so they know all its secrets and the ways the animals interact with it, from the subtle changes of the seasons, to the stages of an animals life cycle, to the flora that sustains it all – they are the key that can unlock it all for you.
Early Morning Walks
Walking safaris epitomize the golden chance to get away from the trails and beaten tracks, and immerse in the environment in a way that the noise and speed of vehicles don’t permit. Once you slow down, there’s a whole world that you never noticed before. The beauty of walking is that it engenders an appreciation of an ecosystem’s sheer perfection: every tiny element has its place, and plays its role. Stripping away the layers between you and an untamed setting beckons forth your primal instincts: your hearing, sight and smell all sharpen in response – and your appreciation of what you perceive is heightened as a result. At Serian, you walk in your own private conservation area – a strictly no-vehicle zone that only guests have access to. Here, you are likely to have close encounters with elephant, buffalo, hippo as well as more rare species like Chandler’s Mountain Reedbuck, klipspringer and oribi. We employ scouts whose job it is to patrol the area and look out for snares, and walking in their company yields an insight into the land from the point of view of someone who roams it every day and knows it intimately.
Adventure Flycamping
It takes its name from sleeping in the bush under nothing more than a flysheet. The premise is that you spend the days walking, and the nights sleeping out in light weight tents, in a makeshift camp that moves each day – the end of each day’s walk brings you to your new site for the night. Flycamping can easily be incorporated into your stay at an extra cost, with some nights spent in main camp before and after. It can add a whole new dimension to your experience, and a taste of the wilderness that few others ever encounter.
Night Game Drives
This is an exploration of the enigmatic nightlife that you might be oblivious to as you sit around the dinner table and proceed to bed. Nocturnal creatures emerge, the heavens are festooned with stars, and the landscape mutates into a whole other world by the light of the moon. Take a flask of soup and a picnic dinner, and set out with a spotlight: if nothing else, the solitude and silence by starlight is reason enough in itself. Using red-filtered bulbs to avoid dazzling the animals, scan the plains for that pride of lion looking ready to hunt. Once you’ve spotted them, switch to infrared floodlights, and watch the scene unfold through our infrared cameras. This is as close as you’ll get to invisibility, watching the wildlife without the fact of your presence affecting it.
Hot Air Ballooning
At an additional price you can enjoy this exhilarating activity. An early morning departure from Ngare Serian will see you at your launchpad. Suspended in basket beneath the balloon’s canopy, you float over the plains and above the forest alongside the Mara River, checking out hippos, crocodile and elephant from high above. The flight time is generally in the region of one hour and ends with a champagne breakfast in the open grassland within the reserve. An unbeatable start to the day!

After the morning activity and breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for the scheduled charter flight to Loisaba. Upon arrival you will be met and transferred to The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille where you will stay for four nights. Arrive in time for lunch and an afternoon activity.
Situated in the far northern escarpment of the Laikipia Plateau with enormous views to the craggy peak of Mount Kenya, the Samburu sacred mountain of Ololokwe, the Matthews Range and the Karisia Hills, at one of the highest points in Laikipia – Sanctuary at Ol Lentille commands spectacular and breathtaking panoramas in every direction. Offering total privacy and total seclusion, this is a lodge that is proud to be different. The team, with the local communities, have proudly created, conserved and protected over 40,000 acres of pristine wilderness which means guests enjoy an area three times the size of Manhattan to explore privately at their leisure.
Perched on the flanks of a wooded rocky hill in the heart of a private conservation area, the four private, full-service, fully staffed villas include one, two or three bedrooms, and are all individually designed and themed offering an incredibly high standard of accommodation with discreet butler service and wow factor.

Enjoy three full days of activities.
Staying at Sanctuary Ol Lentille is, notably, a “holiday” and there is downtime to enjoy the numerous unique and special activities that the lodge and Laikipia offer. Your stay is not the safari format of game drives every morning and evening (yes you can do this if you want) but as most guests combine this with the Masai Mara, where you tend to be in cars for the duration of your stay, Ol Lentille wants to show their guests the space and isolation of this stunning location. Guided by Samburu and Maasai warriors this is a very special journey into their ancient lands.
Importantly your stay is designed to be restful, therefore guests aren’t woken up at 5.30 / 6:00 am for the first activity (unless they want to be). Instead you have a full nights sleep, private breakfast in your villa at the time of your choice, before you venture out for the morning activity of your choice. This flexibility combined with unlimited spa treatments ensures guests relax in this stunning environment and leave revitalised!
Ol Lentille is a pioneering example of how private partnerships with the community can successfully work in Kenya. They have a very special and unique story which they are incredibly proud of – their commitment to responsible tourism has rejuvenated and protected a spectacular part of Laikipia for future generations to enjoy and cherish. Tourism has greatly impacted and improved the lives of the local community with over 5 USD million being raised, and invested in the community: building schools, hospitals and water sanitation projects. Their goal from the outset was to give back and enhance this spectacular part of Kenya. In partnership with the Maasai community they balance luxury travel and economic development with ambitious conservation and community development programs.
This private conservation area is home to the endangered African wild dog, elephant, Grevy’s and Burchell’s zebra, greater kudu, leopard, cheetah, striped and spotted hyena and klipspringer to name but a few. Elephant numbers have really grown in recent years and some months several thousand sightings are recorded. There are six packs of wild dog (averaging 20) that traverse the area around the lodge and there are between 10 to 20 wild dog sightings for some months in this area.
Laikipia is so much more than just game viewing – you can do as little or as many of the exciting activities as you like, and there is no fixed structure – you do what you want when you want and therefore leave relaxed and refreshed. Varied activities including day and night game drives, walking safaris, camel safaris, quad and mountain biking, horse riding and authentic community experiences. A stunning horizon swimming pool offers a cooling respite in the heat of the day, and the wonderful spa offers unlimited spa treatments!
