Description
Formerly known as Willie’s Camp, this is arguably one of the finest camps in Kenya. Sirikoi has been designed and built with the detail and attention that has come from years of experience running tailor-made safaris in East Africa.
The style of the camp is in keeping with the unrivalled hospitality of Sirikoi. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
has had a pioneering role in conservation, the incredible array of game is testament to this. The beautiful landscape varies from rolling hills to the thick Ngere Ndare forest. Lewa holds 12% of Kenya's black rhino population and the largest single population of Grevy zebras in the world.
As well as walking and game drives there are also horse safaris. A new activity at Sirikoi gives guests the opportunity to book a few nights at a specially developed mobile camp which can be set up at remote locations throughout Kenya, from the dry bush of Samburu to the forests of the the Matthews Range to the shores of Lake Turkana. The camps are set up for you and you can join by road, plane or helicopter.
Sirikoi has its own extensive vegetable garden supplying the camp’s kitchen, which produces excellent food.
Accommodation
The camp has four luxury tents, each built on a platform with a private veranda overlooking the waterhole, a living area with a fireplace and an elegant bathroom with a Victorian bath and a shower. There are two further traditional tents with en-suite showers.
In a private corner of camp there is a secluded two-bedroom cottage, made from wood, thatch and stone with a large deck area. The house has its own kitchen, dining room and living space so that you can be totally independent if you wish.
Childcare
Children of all ages are welcome at Sirikoi and although there are no specific facilities babysitting can be arranged.
Facilities
Sirikoi has a lovely infinity swimming pool and veranda deck set within extensive lawns, scattered acacia trees and overlooking a natural waterhole where wild animals frequently visit to wallow and drink.
Activities
With the use of a plane or helicopter there are many places that become accessible from Sirikoi. From camp the activities include bush walks and game drives with skilled and experienced locals to guide you. Bush picnics and dinners can be arranged, as well as horse riding, fishing and trips to visit the local Masaai community.

When to travel
The main tourist season is in January and February, when the weather is hottest and driest. At this time, the animals in the wildlife parks tend to congregate more around the watercourses, making them easier to spot.
Northern and eastern Kenya temperatures vary from highs of up to 40°C during the day to less than 20°C at night. Rainfall in this area is sparse and, when it does occur, is often in the form of violent storms. July is usually the driest month, and November the wettest.
