    I love this place! The accommodations are wonderful, staff is great, and you may even have a wild elephant visit looking for fruit from one of their trees. You are perfectly safe. They are below you along the river and can't get to you, but you can feed them some fruit.

    This is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind place. Care is taken in every detail from the exceptional staff to ensure we all felt like the only guests. It was a gift to wake up in this beautiful place each morning

    An oasis in an otherwise harsh Tsavo east climate, clean and fresh air with views of River Galana, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the hippos and grazing wildlife at the river basin

  • Martin Y.Google review · 25 Jul 2016

    If you love the wild and crave adventure, this is the place to visit. It's remote location at the banks of River Galana is nothing short of magical. It's so quiet and peaceful, only interrupted occasionally by the sound of contented hippos only meters away. The tents are another amazing feature - luxuriously comfortable and surprisingly spacious. All with a patio facing the river and the Savannah beyond
