Fringed with doum palms and overlooking the Yatta Plateau, magical Galdessa Camp offers luxury to travellers seeking to immerse themselves in a hidden and untouched corner.

Enjoying a position on the Galana River amid Tsavo East National Park, its wildlife sightings are frequent, whether guests are enjoying a game drive or simply lingering at camp and watching hippos, elephants and other animals as they come to drink from or cool off in the Galana.
