Private Galdessa Camp
LOCATION: Tsavo East National Park, on the banks of the Galana River overlooking the Yatta Plateau, 15 km upstream of Lugard’s Falls.
STYLE: The camp has a coastal/bush relaxed feel and is designed to blend with the environment using earthy colors and natural woods throughout.
DESCRIPTION: The camp is located along the Galana River under fringed doum palms and overlooks the Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest and oldest fossilized lava flow.
Galdessa Private Camp can be booked exclusively and is situated a short distance from the main camp. Exclusive booking allows you absolute privacy, your own dining room and lounge, as well as the freedom to plan your days and meals as and when you wish.
ACCOMMODATION: 3 comfortable and spacious thatched and semi-tented bungalows on wooden platforms, each with an en-suite bathroom and private veranda. Guests are ensured their privacy as all of the bungalows are situated a good distance apart and natural foliage is used to subtly conceal neighboring bandas. Two of the bungalows (Banda A & 7) have separate sitting rooms and large, private verandas on stilts. Both of these bandas are recommended for honeymooners, as you could sleep under the stars in complete privacy while being serenaded by the sounds of the African night. The bathrooms are large and have traditional bucket showers, flush toilets and basins with running water.
Safari ACTIVITIES: The camp’s activities include:
- game drives in open vehicles;
- walking safaris along the Galana River and sand rivers;
- sundowners and bush breakfasts;
- visits to the nearby Rhino Camp conservation project (15 minutes from Galdessa). The camp’s direct area is home to over 50 black rhino.
