Welcome to Galdessa Camp

Galdessa Camp offers exclusive use for up to ten guests across five private rooms. Fully staffed with excellent chefs, the camp offers a unique safari experience with magical sundowners, game drives, on-site gym, and infinity pool. Guests enjoy special access to the orphaned elephants at the Voi Reintegration Unit.

The property is also home to Galdessa Little, offering an intimate alternative for smaller parties or available to book in tandem with Galdessa Camp.

Guests at Galdessa can explore this landscape through a stunning network of game drives. Back at camp, spend lazy days by the river or venture out for bush breakfasts and sundowners. As darkness falls, the vast African sky reveals spectacular stargazing opportunities.
