Amazing Lodges in Kitui
Ithumba Hill Camp: Off The Beaten Path
The rustic and secluded self-catering Ithumba Camp, previously run by Kenya Wildlife Service and now overseen by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, was set up as an eco-camp with an aim of exhibiting the authentic ‘Out of Africa’ beauty of the northern area of Tsavo East National Park. The switch was also to actively foster the support for the conservation of its wildlife. The beautifully-sighted 3-bandas Ithumba Camp, set between bush and acacia trees along the Galana River, brings you appreciably close to the splendor of its game better than many lodges.
Callers to Ithumba Camp also get to tour the Ithumba Elephant Nursery and see the little eles, saved from the hands of poachers, happily thriving. Ithumba Camp is 98 km from Kibwezi township. An exclusive stylishly rustic hideaway, designed for the intrepid traveller who relishes being off the beaten path, with enliven skies, star-studded nights and a rich array of fascinating species in the surrounding wild landscape. Based at the foot of Ithumba Hill with commanding views across the Yatta Plateau, guests can immerse themselves in the sounds of nature whilst close by is the engaging Ithumba Regeneration Unit that guests have the chance to visit.
Around Kenya, there is a collection of rare experiences, in amazing lodges, offering guests intimate encounters with parts of the world not many get to know – and the chance to slow down and truly discover them. Each lodge is rooted in its local community and dedicated to protecting the habitat and cultures.
