Settle into Galdessa Camp
Perched atop the Galana River and framed by the Yatta Plateau, Galdessa Camp sits in perfect harmony with the landscape that surrounds it, inviting guests to watch the natural world unfold in an undiscovered corner of Tsavo East National Park. The exclusive-use camp accommodates up to ten guests across five private tented rooms overlooking the river, each with its own bathroom featuring indoor showers. An open-plan living and dining space, an infinity pool overlooking the Galana River, and a well-appointed gym set amidst the wilderness complete the offering. Fully staffed with excellent chefs, the camp delivers game drives, riverside relaxation, bush breakfasts and sundowners. As a Sheldrick Wildlife Trust not-for-profit property, Galdessa Camp grants guests exclusive access to the Trust's Voi Reintegration Unit for orphaned elephants, and is also home to Galdessa Little, which can be booked in tandem.
