Set beside the rushing Mara River in the private Mara North Conservancy, Serian’s Kimya Kimya is an intimate and characterful bush camp designed for unhurried safari living. Its name reflects the atmosphere perfectly: low-key, peaceful and wonderfully removed from the outside world.
The camp overlooks a lively salt lick and natural spring regularly visited by elephant, giraffe and zebra. The river itself forms an active wildlife crossing point, with animals navigating the granite boulders and shallow channels between the banks. With worn leather, timber furnishings, soft cottons and open fires, Kimya Kimya combines simple comfort with a genuine sense of place.

Activities
Dining
Meals at Kimya Kimya are informal and sociable, with the campfire at the heart of the experience. Days might end with a fireside barbecue, cold drinks and shared stories beneath the African sky, while breakfasts and lunches can be arranged in scenic locations around camp.
Dining is less about ceremony and more about connection, bringing guests, guides and hosts together to revisit the day’s sightings and enjoy generous, freshly prepared food in the wilderness.
It is best to pack as light as possible for safari; limit baggage to two items per person and always use soft bags rather than suitcases. In specific cases i.e. for internal flights, luggage may be limited to 15kg per person. Most hotels and lodges have laundry services, so an excessive amount of clothing should be unnecessary.
Enjoy a tailor-made safari to Kenya taking in the big cats and game of the Masai Mara Reserve. After catching a flight here, you will be able to spot game en route during your transfer to Naribor Camp. Due to the stunning location of the camp there may even be a number of resident game wandering through the grounds as you arrive.
For the diversity of habitats and concentration of game, it is difficult to beat the world-renowned reserves in Kenya.
Kimya Kimya captures the essence of a private safari camp. It is intimate, unpretentious and deeply connected to its riverside setting, with wildlife often visible without leaving camp. The natural spring, salt lick and river crossing bring elephant, giraffe and zebra remarkably close, while private guiding allows each day to be shaped entirely around the guests. Evenings gathered around the fire, sharing stories over dinner and drinks, giving the camp the warm and personal atmosphere of a home in the bush.
