Guests at Ithumba can explore this wild corner of Tsavo East on game drives, or venture out for picnics and sundowners in the heart of the Tsavo landscape. Back at camp, spend lazy afternoons relaxing in the pool. As darkness falls, the vast African sky reveals spectacular stargazing opportunities. This property also offers exclusive visiting privileges to the Trust’s Ithumba Reintegration Unit, where you can meet the orphaned elephants and their devoted Keepers — a rare, intimate encounter with conservation in action.
