Kirawira Camp Attractions
Without even leaving camp one can encounter much of the extraordinary
bird life known to the immediate area. In Kirawira's intimate
setting guests have the opportunity to experience Africa, as
did the early pioneers ... as if they are among the first visitors
to travel these extraordinary lands.
Kirawira Camp Facilities
This luxury-tented camp is a stylish evocation of the Victorian
colonial period. Guests have all the comforts that colonial
travellers would have taken on safari, supplemented by more
modern luxuries. Located on one of the Kirawira range of hills
in the western corridor of the Serengeti, the camp overlooks,
in the near distance, the famous Grumeti River with its giant
crocodiles and, some distance beyond, Speke's Bay, a part
of Lake Victoria. The camp is all canvas and is almost invisible
from afar. It is designed and sited to harmonise with the natural
surroundings whilst offering the highest standards of comfort
and service. Twenty-five double tents on platforms have either
twin or king-sized beds, mosquito netted and covered in bright
patchwork covers. The en-suite bathroom contains a generous
selection of Floris goodies including blissful aromatherapy
oils, a robe and large, soft white towels. The wardrobe is leather
cornered and studded just like a colonial travelling trunk.
A dish of delicious treats awaits the weary traveller - fresh
fruit, chocolate, sweetmeats and nuts tempt the palate. A large
tented veranda allows you to gaze at the lovely views as you
sip your drink and think about the Empire! A covered terrace
flanks the main lounge and frames vistas across the plains to
the misty-blue Bunda Hills rising in the distance. A thoughtfully
placed telescope allows you to pick out minute detail. Here
you may take afternoon tea, served from a silver teapot. This
is also a favourite spot in which to take a sundowner. Kirawira
serves a potent cocktail called the "paralytic weaver".
The second part of the name refers to the little birds that
weave their straw nests in the trees around the camp, the first
part is self-explanatory! Dinner is served in the dining tent,
where white napery, crystal and porcelain recall colonial dinner
parties. Waiters wearing the khanzu - a long white tunic - will
serve the high quality cuisine in which East African flavours
predominate yet are never overpowering.
