Fodor's Expert Review Kirawira Luxury Tented Camp

Serengeti National Park, Mara, Tanzania

Turn back the clock and stay at a camp that any well-heeled Victorian traveler would have felt completely at home in. This pleasant tented camp overlooks the western corridor just west of Seronara. Kirawira's Victorian decor is pervasive—polished wooden floors, gleaming antique furniture, handmade patchwork bedspreads, copper urns, and shining brass lamps. Your spacious double en suite tent on a raised platform overlooks the plains where you can go for game drives and guided walks. Venture farther afield to go fishing or sailing on Lake Victoria. A crocodile safari—brave souls go out at night to track and watch crocs—by the Grumeti River is a highlight.
