THRILLING ACTIVITIES AND AUTHENTIC SAFARI EXPERIENCES.
A uniquely specialised event, not normally permitted within the boundaries of the National Parks and Reserves, is a night game drive, the ultimate safari luxury experience. Leaving the Lodge either before or after dinner set off to discover the creatures of the night. The night is the exclusive domain of the hunters such as leopards and lions. It is the only time when you may catch a glimpse of such elusive nocturnal creatures as aardvark, aardwolf, and Lumo’s melanistic serval cat. Your vehicle will be equipped with a powerful handheld lamp used to sweep the bush for sightings. Children over 5 years of age are welcome and really enjoy this exciting glimpse, of what happens around them when they are usually in bed.
With over 1,070 species of birds, Kenya has the second highest country bird list in Africa, while the area around Tsavo West boats 600 recorded species. For the amateur and serious ornithologist alike, we offer a range of half or full-day. Outings can be custom tailored to your interests. The services of a professional ranger and up-to-date bird checklists are included. Picnics, bush lunches, and sundowners can be scheduled to suit your needs.
Climb the beautiful Taita Hills. Drive through lush, mountainous Taita, where the climate is perfect and the views stunning over what is known to the locals as ‘ little Switzerland.’ Walk through the farmlands and interact with the locals in their daily chores. It takes about 45 minutes of steep walking from where you leave your vehicle to where the view is panoramic. The camp will supply you with a nourishing packed picnic lunch.
A bush walk or morning game drive culminates in the best meal of the day. Enhanced by being eaten under a tree. Fresh fruit, juice, tea, coffee, and a cooked breakfast to your requirements will be freshly prepared by our chef while you relax and soak up the atmosphere of the bush through which you have just meandered.

Discover a World War 1 British encampment with visible trenches and hideouts, identify rare trees and birds, and enjoy learning as you ascend more about the culture of the local Taita people. Best to start before the first light with a packed picnic breakfast and lunch.
Our Skill Share Program is an opportunity for people passionate about sharing their knowledge to make a lasting impact on the lives of children in our community. Suppose you have expertise in music, dance, arts and crafts, macramé, hand sewing, cross-stitch, informatics, jewelry making, or farming. In that case, we invite you to spend a day at our supported schools. Embrace the opportunity to be a part of something meaningful – where your knowledge becomes a source of inspiration and empowerment.
Music provides children with numerous benefits, fostering creativity, enhancing cognitive skills, and promoting emotional expression. It instills discipline and teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and offers a positive outlet for self-discovery. Please help us bring the joy of music to the community by bringing ukuleles or music lessons to the two schools we already support, Mwashoti and Latika Primary School.
We share packets with seed balls to each guest that can be launched into the conservancy using a slingshot. A seed ball is essentially a seed encased in a mixture of clay and compost, which is then dried. This technique dates back to ancient times, potentially utilized by the Ancient Egyptians sow seeds along the retreating banks of the Nile after annual floods. This method is widely employed in Asia and other regions, particularly in arid areas, due to its effectiveness in safeguarding seeds until conditions are favorable for germination, as well as its ease of distribution. Ask our receptionists for your seed balls and slingshot!
A snare is a simple yet effective trap designed to capture or restrain animals. Typically consisting of a noose, wire, or other flexible material, snares are set to tighten around the prey when triggered, securing it in place. Poachers commonly use snares for hunting or trapping purposes. De-snaring involves removing snares set by poachers, which severely threaten the local wildlife. You can join our rangers on guided excursions through the surrounding areas, actively searching for and disarming snares.
If you’re a healthcare professional looking to make a positive impact, consider sharing your expertise with the villagers in our area. Whether you’re a general practitioner or a dentist, we have the perfect opportunity for you to extend your skills and compassion to those in need. We can organize clinics in the nearby villages surrounding our lodge, providing essential medical and dental services to the local community. This activity needs to be arranged a minimum of 2 weeks before arrival.
