Immense views of the African savannah

About the place:
Home to the Hopcraft family since Independence, Swara Plains Acacia Camp provides immense views with big skies that are so much a part of the high Savannah. Both Mount Kenya to the north and Kilimanjaro to the south are visible from the sanctuary. There is a perimeter fence line of over 50 kilometers for security and some 100 kilometers of roads. Over 300 species of bird have been seen within the sanctuary.
