Galdessa Camp
Our newest retreat, Galdessa offers an atmospheric location from which to explore a hidden, unspoilt and wild corner of Tsavo.
Fringed with doum palms and overlooking the Yatta Plateau, Galdessa offers a luxurious yet wild magical experience for travellers seeking to immerse themselves in a hidden and untouched corner of Tsavo East National Park. Enjoying a position on the Galana river, wildlife sightings are frequent, whether guests enjoy a game drive or remain at the camp watching the resident hippos, elephants and more as they come to cool off in the river.
