Alex Walker's Serian

Serengeti Maswa and the southern plains are at their best between mid December and late May when this whole area comes alive as millions of wildebeest move onto the plains in search of the fresh green grass after the first rains. In parts of the North Mara you can drive for much of the day hardly seeing another human, yet in the Serengeti at times almost wading through vast concentrations of plains games  Choose an isolated water hole way out in the plains, almost certainly home to its own coalition of cheetah and, with patience a very likely amphitheatre for some sort of predator action to play out. We suggest spending at least five nights in Maswa more if you are keen to explore lake Eyasi "Hunting with Hadzabe".

In the private Mara North Conservancy Large numbers of gazelles will continue to hang around Serian and Ngare Serian on the plains, and they in turn keep the big cats here. Much of this area actually lies outside the boundaries of the National Reserve itself, which allows an important element of freedom and flexibility - off road driving is permitted across the open plains, greatly enhancing game viewing opportunities and giving you a real sense of the vastness of this area. A great time to enjoy moon watching from the tree house deck of Suguroi Hill.
