Kirawira Serena Camp
And there’s Kirawira Serena Camp in the Serengeti...gorgeous and dream—like, harkening back to the splendor and elegance of Victorian times. You will experience the overwhelming comfort of a five—star hotel as if in one of the world’s great cities, but you will be here, cosseted and coddled, in the splendor of the African bush. Exquisite service is a part of the fabric of life here.
Standing high on a bluff with views over the endlessly rolling reaches of the Serengeti, Kirawira is the epitome of a colonial—styled safari camp featuring tasteful chintz lounges, Persian rugs, antique escritoires, wind—up phonographs, and leather-bound traveling cases. The décor of the 25 elegant tents is a clever blend of classic opulence and safari practicality with stained glass and mahogany bars, a private stone terrace for “sundowners,” and a private valet for service.
