We have used Tsavo as a generic term to cover an area in the south east of the country where the three lodges below are situated.

Galdessa is in Tsavo East National Park.  This is a massive park, the majority of which is relatively flat and dry and made up from savannah grassland and scrub. Most of the interest is derived from around the rivers and marshlands where the game concentrates.

Campi ya Kanzi is situated between Amboseli and Tsavo West in the Chyulu Hills. When it comes to describing a scene at Chyulu Hills, a snippet from Brian Jackman’s article for the Telegraph.co.uk encapsulates it; “This is widescreen Africa as I have never seen it before. Far to the northwest, across endless vistas of grass and scrub, lies the elephant country of Amboseli. If I turn around I can see the volcanic summits of Tsavo National Park receding over the horizon. Ahead, backlit by the setting sun, looms the unearthly vision of Mount Kilimanjaro; and behind, bathed in golden light, are the Chyulu hills themselves, a voluptuous backdrop of volcanic summits covered in dense cloud forest.”

Finally there’s Lions Bluff in the Lumo Community Wildlife Sanctuary.  This covers an area of 125,000 acres in the heart of the Tsavo Eco-system and lies between Tsavo West National Park and Taita Game Sanctuary. The land surrounding Lumo consists of woody rolling savannah. Each area has a rich variety of flora and fauna that varies slightly but generally includes elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebras, aardvark, lion, leopard, cheetah, ostrich, eland, oryx, dikdik and so on. They are also home to numerous birds.
