Galdessa Camp in Tsavo East National Park, is built on the southern bank of the Galana River under shady Doum Palms.
The inviting guest areas look out across the water to the Yatta Plateau which is an ancient fossilised lava flow - the world's oldest and longest. At the end of the day in a secret spot by the river you can watch the sun setting over Mount Kilimanjaro while enjoying canapés and chilled cocktails. Galdessa Camp is self-catering with a private chef on hand.
Galdessa Camp is designed to integrate with the natural environment and features natural woods and earthy tones in the décor. The Galana River is a magnet for wildlife and you can watch the parade without having to leave the camp. All guest areas have an uninterrupted view of the water, so you can also savour delicious meals while keeping a look out for game.
A stay of 3 nights is recommended to fully explore the richness and diversity of Tsavo East National Park where Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Cheetah and Masai Giraffe roam accompanied by a great supporting cast of African wildlife.
