Galdessa Lodge

From: £759

Galdessa is spread along the river under doum palms overlooking the Galana River and the Yatta Plateau in Tsavo East National Park. This exclusive lodge has been built with great care not to adversely impact the environment and the accommodation has been sympathetically constructed to blend with it’s surroundings. Each ‘banda’ faces the river allowing for a constant breeze and cool and pleasant nights.

We recommend a minimum of 2 nights to fully explore the rich diversity of Tsavo East National Park

Itinerary - Duration: 2 nights / 3 days
