I am incredibly excited about Serian's Maswa Serengeti Camp (seasonal) due to open late this year!

For years we've watched the migrating wildebeests disappear into the far-south Serengeti to an area called Maswa. Well, between December and May there will be a wonderful new option so migration enthusiasts can follow the herds from Loliondo Piaya to Ndutu to Maswa - simply an amazing itinerary! Fly-in and drive-in options are available.

Those of us who have been lucky enough to stay at Serian know it is one of the top camps in the Masai Mara area. That same quality will now be available on the edge of the Serengeti and NCA away from the growing Ndutu crowds but close enough to visit both Maswa and Ndutu if required! Visits to Eyasi and other areas are easily arranged. Walking will be very good down there.

The Maswa Game area has hunting blocks but there is no hunting during the migration season. And perhaps when photo tourism establishes itself in the area the hunting can eventually be limited or even banned (I hope).

I will post a Google Eath map of the location and area this weekend here: http://www.go-safari.com/Serengeti/serengeti.htm - please check in often

Hi Eben,

Thanks a lot! for this info.

Since visiting Serian in the Mara in June 2008, I've been a huge fan of theirs - and think that they offer a fantastic experience.

I shall definitely keep this in mind.

Cheers,
Hari

Knowing that Alex is a PH it was just a matter of time when he is going to open a camp in his favourite hunting grounds.
I would NEVER support ANYTHING which is related to hunting - one way or the other.

It's a matter of choice..........

Thank you for the info!

Fine, but I wonder how much you know about camp ownerships in East or Southern Africa.

Moving photo safaris into traditional hunting areas generally lead to good things in the long run. I support it because I have a long-term vision.

Nice to have a new kid on the block and another choice in the area, if on the very high-end pricewise.
Thanks for the update.

Hi Eben,
Thanks for the alert. As to various comments to your posting, in my old age I have developed this philosophy:

What was true yesterday may not be true today.
What is true today will not necessarily be true tomorrow.
What is true for me is not true for you.
There are multiple truths that can coexist.

All in all, I am glad we can talk about the varieties of truth.

Eben
You are right....but IF I come across the bold info on a person's involvement in hunting then I have a chance to make a choice.

Anyway - be it Serian ot others from a conservation point of view ANY new "kid on the block" is one too much.
