Each lodge has its own lounge, dining area, and bar overlooking the river. The elegant and imaginatively decorated bandas are built on wooden platforms with an A-frame thatch roof and a private veranda that has breathtaking river views. The furnishings are African theme with huge hand-carved beds, wooden chests, deep-cushioned armchairs, hand-woven rugs, and wall hangings. There's an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and bucket shower. If you want total privacy, then opt for the honeymoon bandas, which have separate verandas on stilts—perfect for canoodling to your heart's content under the stars.

The quality and standard of the food is just what you would expect in this gorgeous camp—superb. Don't be surprised if you see a pride of lions strolling along the riverbank or a few black rhino; this area has the largest unfenced population of black rhino. Galdessa is a premier Kenya Camping Safari Holiday Destination, and is small and up market. It is easily accessible by road from Mombassa & Malindi Hotels & resorts,, Galdessa is geared for the family or couple with good taste who want an exclusive type experience on a Kenya Safari, and not mass market. Galana River continues to have a good water flow even in the dry season, and thus good game viewing and great wildlife sightings from the lounge and dining room which means not having to leave the camp when you are on a Kenya safari holiday.

The whole impression is one of laid back sophistication, and yet the guest feels in close and intimate contact with the Kenyan bush, and completely off the beaten track. There are 11 comfortable and spacious tented bandas which are thatched, sitting on wooden platforms, with a wooden verandah, far enough apart and hidden by bushes and trees, so you don't really notice your neighbors. Of course the purpose of a Kenya camping safari is to see, and get close to the animals, and at Galdessa, there are two main activities. The first is the traditional GameDrive, and the riverside location means the four wheel drive vehicles follw the river, giving opportunity to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos who all come to the permanent pools along the river. If the tour is an all day affair, then lunch will be taken at a lunch camp site, and is normally three courses with cold drinks. Bush breakfasts can also be arranged, as can Dinners.

The second thrust is a walking safari where you are always escorted by an armed ranger, and you have the chance to see, and get quite close to lions, cheetahs, giraffes, waterbucks, impalas, zebras, dik diks, crocodiles, hippos, and occasionally leopard. When you return to Galdessa Camp, after another incredible day in your Kenya Safari, you'll always be very happy with the high standard of cuisine, and the top flight service you will receive. You can sit out viewing the river, hearing the sounds of the African Bush and watching the animals coming to the water.

Tsavo National Park Information
Tsavo National Park is 21,000 square kilometres(as large as two-thirds of Belgium), and one of the biggest National Parks in Kenya. Tsavo is split into Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks by the Mombasa-Nairobi railroad and main road in Kenya. Tsavo East is by far the larger of the 2, with two-thirds of its area.  Tsavo is so vast and wild that tourism has had little impact on its environment. You can rely on seasoned Kenya guides to take you straight to where the action is, and to reveal all the mysteries of this vast reserve in Kenya. Tsavo is 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. Galdessa has an airstrip, the coordinates are:
South 03 05.00, East 038 28.00, length / service of airstrip: 150 metres The best time to visit December to March and August to October, the weather is good with only slight showers and the game is plenty. Galdessa can be accessed by road aswell.

These are favorites of lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos, as game always needs water, and luggas often have permanent pools. Longer game drives can be arranged to the Park's farther reaches, on day outings, with picnic lunches or with a 3-course lunch awaiting you with iced drinks at our selected lunch camp sites.
