Kirawira Serena Tented Camp 

A touch of Edwardian-chic

Kirawira Serena Camp is an exclusive tented camp with spectacular views across the endless plains of the Serengeti’s famous Western Corridor.

Arriving here you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to the luxury safari camps of the early 1900s. The camp is arranged in a classically Edwardian style with the central meeting tent evocatively furnished with chaise lounges, Persian rugs, wind-up phonograms, writing desks, brass lamps and leather-bound travel cases.

Action-packed daily game drives offer the chance to see the Serengeti’s Big Five, as well as a vast number of crocodiles in the Grumeti Reserve. Back at camp guests can enjoy a cooking class, join Swahili language lessons, or relax with a massage, before toasting the end of a glorious day with sundowner cocktails and canapés in the bush.\
