The entire camp is masterfully spread out in a shadowed glade among boskia trees, creating an astounding nature's greatest masterpiece. The 25-tent Lodge provides guests with a bespoke five-star glamping experience in the middle of the wilderness.

Tsavo East National Park
The sight of dust-red elephants wallowing, rolling, and spraying each other with the midnight blue waters of the palm-shaded Galana River is one of the most evocative images in Africa. This, along with the 300-kilometer-long Yatta Plateau, the longest lava flow in the world, makes for an adventure unlike any other in the Tsavo East National Park. The park forms the largest protected area in Kenya and is home to most of the larger mammals, vast herds of dust –red elephant, Rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, pods of hippo, crocodile, waterbucks, lesser Kudu, gerenuk, and the prolific bird life features 500 recorded species.
Best described as elephants in Eden, and without a care in the wild world, the massive and mighty mammals wallow, roll, and spray each other with the midnight blue waters of the palm-shaded Galana River. This must be one of the most evocative images of Africa.
The beautiful Aruba dam, located on the north bank of the seasonal Voi River, is visited by thousands of animals in the park and makes a great game viewing destination.
Mudanda Rock is a whale-backed rock that towers above a natural dam. This rock formation runs for over 1.5km, and it attracts elephants in the dry season and is reminiscent of Australia’s Uluru (Ayers Rock), albeit on a much smaller scale. Leopards and elephants are among the wildlife to watch out for here.
Lugard’s Falls, named after Captain Lugard, the first proconsul to East Africa, the falls feature a bizarrely eroded rock neck through which the waters of the Galana River plunge into foaming rapids and crocodile-infested pools.
A spectacular voyage of discovery, Tsavo East National Park offers some of the most magnificent game drives in the world – vast herds of dust-red elephants, fat pods of hippos, giant crocodiles, and a kaleidoscope of bird life are set against a blazing backdrop of endless bush.
Sports & nature
While traditional motorized game drives are the primary activity, the park offers several ways to engage physically with the landscape:
Hiking Mudanda Rock: You can leave your vehicle to climb this massive 1.6 km-long Precambrian rock outcrop. It serves as a natural water catchment, providing panoramic views of the Yatta Plateau and the wildlife drinking at the dam below.
Guided Nature Walks: For a more intimate connection with the ecosystem, visitors can take part in ranger-led walking safaris, particularly along the Galana River. These walks allow for up-close observation of flora, fauna, and tracks.
Rock Exploration at Lugard Falls: Visitors can walk across the bizarrely eroded rock formations where the Galana River plunges into rapids. Caution is advised due to crocodile-infested pools below.
Hot Air Balloon Safaris: For a unique "sporting" perspective, balloon tours provide aerial views of the vast herds and the world's longest lava flow, the Yatta Plateau.
The "Red Elephants": The park is famous for its large herds of elephants that appear dust-red after wallowing in the park’s oxide-rich volcanic soil.
Bird Watching: With over 500 recorded species, the park is a premier destination for birding. Notable species include the Golden Pipit, Somali Ostrich, and various raptors.
Aruba Dam: This man-made reservoir is a major nature hub, attracting thousands of animals—including buffalo, waterbucks, and lions—especially during the dry season.
Nightlife
Nightlife in Tsavo East National Park focuses on tranquil, nature-based experiences rather than urban nightlife, featuring exclusive sundowners, bush dinners under the stars, and evening game drives to spot nocturnal wildlife. Key, intimate options include dining at lodges like Severin Safari Camp or watching nocturnal animal activity at watering holes.
Tsavo East Nightlife Experiences

Lodge Entertainment: Lodges often feature relaxing lounges, evening campfires, and bar services that provide a cozy atmosphere after a day of exploration.

Culture and history info
Tsavo East National Park, established in 1948 and located near Voi, is one of Kenya's oldest and largest (13,747 km2km squared km2 protected areas, renowned for its "red" elephants, vast savanna, and the historic 1898 "man-eaters of Tsavo" incident. It is a critical conservation site featuring the Galana River, which, along with the Athi River, sustains diverse wildlife.
Key Historical and Cultural Aspects:
The Man-Eaters of Tsavo (1898): During the construction of the Uganda Railway, two lions, dubbed the "Man-eaters of Tsavo," terrorized workers, a story famously chronicled by Col. J.H. Patterson.
The "Slaughter" Name: "Tsavo" originates from the Kikamba word for "slaughter," traditionally referring to the Maasai people's, rather than the railway workers', tragic history in the area.
Colonial Establishment: The park was gazetted in 1949 as a wildlife refuge to protect the area's rich biodiversity, particularly as it was largely uninhabited.
"Red" Elephants: The park is iconic for its large elephant herds, which appear red due to the dust from the iron-rich soil they bathe in.
Archaeological Sites: The area features the 1898 stone bridge constructed over the Tsavo River, along with remnants of the old Taru railway station.
Cultural Significance: The surrounding areas have been historically inhabited by the Taita, Giriama, and Maasai communities, which have deep ties to the land and the Tsavo ecosystem.
