Galdessa is located in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya alongside the Galana River. The park is rich in wildlife and the lodge offers the special treats of comfort and unique accommodation to place the cherry on top of your safari experience.

ON SAFARI

A typical day starts with a hot tea/coffee served on the privacy of your veranda, followed by a morning walk or game drive, accompanied by one of the camp’s many knowledgeable guides. Culminating in a hot, cooked bush breakfast beneath the shade of the doum palms is just one of the many extras the camp provides. In the afternoon, you can again choose between a walk and game drive, ending the day with sundowners and the spectacular Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.

Open four-wheel drive vehicles take guests to discover the river frontage and its seasonal tributaries. As they often have permanent pools, the lugards are favorite haunts of lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The camp tailors activities to suit each guest’s requirements. A minimum of 3 nights is recommended to fully explore the rich diversity of Tsavo East National Park.

ACCOMMODATION

The main camp is located on the southern bank of the Galana River. The riverside location of the lounge and dining room ensure frequent wildlife sightings without the need to leave camp, as the game seeks relief from the heat of the day in the cool waters of the river.

11 comfortable and spacious thatched and semi-tented bungalows on wooden platforms, each with en-suite bathroom and private veranda. Bathrooms are large with traditional buket showers, flush toilets and basins with running water.

The private camp consists of 3 bandas. It has its own dining room, lounge, and staff and can be booked exclusively.

ACTIVITIES

The camp’s activities include game drives in open vehicles; walking safaris along the Galana River and sand rivers; sundowners and bush breakfasts.  The camp’s direct area is home to over 50 black rhino. Tsavo East National Park is a wilderness area of great bio-diversity. Uncommon species seen include lesser kudu, gerenuk, fringed-eared oryx, Hirola and Peter’s gazelle. The area is renowned for elephants particularly during the dry season: the last count (1999) recorded 8100. Tsavo is particularly rich in birdlife, with birds migrating from Oman, Malawi, Iran, Germany and Russia.
