Welcome to Galdessa Little
Galdessa Little offers exclusive use for up to six guests across three private rooms. Fully staffed with excellent chefs, the camp offers a unique safari experience with magical sundowners, game drives, on-site gym, and lagoon pool. Guests enjoy special access to the orphaned elephants at the Voi Reintegration Unit.
The property is also home to Galdessa Camp, offering a more spacious alternative for larger parties or available to book in tandem with Galdessa Little.
Nestled on the banks of the Galana River, Galdessa Little offers a front row seat to watch Kenya’s wild world unfold. At any given moment, you might see hippos wallowing in the mud, crocodiles soaking up the sun’s rays, or elephants strolling down the shore.

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.
This property also offers exclusive visiting privileges to the Trust’s Voi Reintegration Unit, where you can meet the orphaned elephants and their devoted Keepers — a rare, intimate encounter with conservation in action.
