Tsavo is so vast and wild that tourism has had little impact on its environment. You can rely on our seasoned guides to take you straight to where the action is, and to reveal all the mysteries of this vast reserve.

Galdessa is the only up-market facility in Tsavo East and is situated in the middle of the Park on the banks of the river Galana; due to its remote position in the centre of a high protection black rhinoceros area, its area is generally free of tourism other than its own.

Tsavo is particularly rich in birds, making it a favourite among bird watchers, and is famed for its elephants, of which it counts over 8100. During their migration, it is not rare to witness herds of 200 to 300 animals.

Tsavo is also famous for its man-eaters, a couple of lions who terrorized workers during the building of the Mombasa-Nairobi railroad at the turn of the century. This true story has been made into a movie, "The Ghost and the Darkness", starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer.

A visit of the Black Rhinos Free Release Project which is only 5km from Galdessa Camp can be easily arranged. A rare opportunity to see rhino on foot and to gain exposure to the world of active conservation through lectures given by the Kenya Wildlife Service officer in charge of this worthy project.
