Galdessa Camp's remote access in a very wild part of the park ensures that tourism is kept to a minimum, enhancing the intimacy the camp, and our guests, enjoy with Nature.
Galdessa Camp Facilities
Under the shade of the doum palms, the camp's 8 spacious "bandas" are comfortable, fresh, and elegant. Set well apart, they all face the river and the Yatta Plateau, the world's largest fossilized lava flow (over 200km long).
The term "banda" is an African word describing a bungalow-like structure enhanced by the best attributes a true-tented camp accommodation has to offer. Two of our bandas are organised in suites, with their own, separate thatched sitting room where private meals may also be served.
Our most remote banda is ideal for honeymooners in search of privacy, with its own sitting room, viewing platform and water wallow. The Camp's location on the river makes it ideal for sightings along its bed, either side of Galdessa Camp.Galdessa Camp Additional Information
Our open four-wheel-drive Toyota Land-Cruisers will take you to explore this route and others along its seasonal tributaries, known as luggas. These are favourites of lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos, as game always needs water, and luggas often have permanent pools.
Longer game drives can be arranged to the Park's farther reaches, on day outings, with picnic lunches or with a 3-course lunch awaiting you with iced drinks at our selected lunch camp sites. Bush breakfasts and dinners are also organized.
Galdessa Camp specializes in Nature Tourism and Tsavo is great walking country, which offers nature lovers wonderful walks and game sightings. We organize leisurely walks along the Galana 
River, starting at the spectacular rock formation of Lugards Falls, stopping along the way to fish for catfish under the watchful eyes of hippos and crocodiles, and ending up with cocktails while the sunsets over Mount Kilimanjaro.
