| Lake Victoria,
Bunda village and Speke Bay (excursion ex Serengeti)
This is an all day excursion from Kiarawira Luxury Tented Camp (see
Serena Hotels) in western Serengeti that Destination Kenya is pleased
to recommend to any traveller spending at least 3 nights at Kirawira.
After breakfast at Kirawira, drive westerly through the Serengeti to
the Tanzanian village of Bunda. This drive takes about 2 hours with
the first hour being a game drive. Time will be spent visiting the market
stalls of this authentic African village which sees very few tourists.
The visitor gets the opportunity to see how the market plays a focal
role in rural African life and there is also a school operated by AMREF
that you would be welcome to visit. After this visit to Bunda village,
a drive south along the shores of Lake Victoria ( thirty minutes ) to
a small oasis of a lodge Speke Bay where a freshly cooked lunch will
be served. The lodge also has immaculate washrooms so it is also a place
to freshen up.
After lunch, a slow leisurely drive eastwards back to the Serengeti
and Kirawira Camp. One is back in the Serengeti game viewing area around
3.30 pm when one can either do an afternoon game drive or continue back
to the camp to have the remainder of the afternoon at leisure. This
excursion will afford you the opportunity of not only seeing the largest
lake in Africa and second largest lake in the world- Lake Victoria but
it will also give you the chance to see and experience rural Africa.
Depart Kirawira around 8.30 am - return around 4 pm
