The whole concept of Kirawira Camp is as imaginative as it is elegant. Atop a hill overlooking the endless savanna, you will find tented luxury beyond your dreams. From this oasis of sophistication, you can survey the endless plains of Western Serengeti and its teeming wildlife, a cooling drink in your hand served by the attentive staff. Every tent has its own private verandah and is superbly appointed. Victorian furniture gives it grace and style that starkly contrasts with the wilderness setting. And yet, the paradox works beautifully. The open-sided architecture of the public area keeps you constantly in touch with nature. The food is a delight, the finest ingredients used and meals cooked to your own recipe or to order from the house cuisine to complete your pleasure. There is an exceptional wine list too. Big game safaris will take you in search of lions, cheetahs, gazelles and many other species. Lake Victoria is also a worthwhile visit.
