Standout property
One of my favourite camps in the entire country! Nkorombo is a wonderful small tented camp on the edge of the Mara river itself. A superb location and the home of some very good guides; adventurous, but certainly more than comfortable.

The main thing to do at Serian’s Nkorombo Mobile is go out on seriously good game drives. Every group has access to a private safari vehicle with guide and spotter, so you can enjoy truly bespoke experiences of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. This is a dream destination for safaris throughout the year.
Among the wildlife highlights are all Big Five – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo.
You can also look out for smaller predators such as cheetah, hyena, and rare wild dog, and other herbivores including giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and a fine assortment of antelopes too!
The reserve boasts over 500 bird species, not least ostrich, a variety of raptors, all sorts of waterbirds, and specials such as lazy cisticola and purple grenadier.
If you visit during the months from July to October, you’ll likely witness the dramatic Great Migration river crossings, as huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelopes hurtle over the Mara river in their search for food!
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Nkorombo Mobile’s mess tent is also a canvas structure, with a classic feel.
It contains a pleasant lounge, with well-cushioned sofas and armchairs, in addition to a self-service bar. There’s a dining space too, in which everyone eats together around a large table. Guests can also opt to dine at a number of al fresco locations around camp, all the while watching out for wildlife! The mess tent has a lovely veranda, and orange croton bushes on the banks of the river provide lots of shade. Full breakfasts are available, while lunches are buffet style and dinners are fairly formal three-course affairs. And some dishes are prepared using the camp’s very characterful hippo-shaped barbecue! A short distance from the mess tent, there’s a campfire, where guests can socialise and swap safari stories. There’s also a salt lick, which is popular with big game including lion, leopard, and even black rhino.

Guest accommodation consists of just five spacious tents, described by Serian as ‘Selous style’.
These are made entirely out of canvas, and an outer layer of fabric extends over the inner layer to create a private veranda at the front. The veranda is set with a couple of safari chairs and a small table, and it’s a great spot for relaxing with a drink while enjoying your river views! Inside the tent, you’ll find a double bed or twin beds, bedside stands and lighting, another safari chair and small table, and a luggage rack. The en-suite facilities are positioned at the back of the tent, and they comprise flush toilet, washbasin, and classic bucket shower! There’s some extra storage space here too. Overall the tents are pretty simple yet very comfortable, and they blend beautifully with the surrounding bushscape.
