Ithumba Hill Camp: Wild Seclusion

Opened in 2015, the newly completed up-market 4-tented Ithumba Hill Camp, nestled on an exemplary prominence on the side of Ithumba Hill, is a latter-day establishment in the lesser developed northern quarter of Tsavo East National Park. Ithumba Hill Camp, which sleeps up to eight, is one of four safari camps operated by David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust under their auspices of the Ithumba Regeneration Centre. Callers to the camp can enjoy tours of Ithumba Elephant Nursery and take part in the noble conservation efforts. In addition, travellers to Ithumba Hill Camp can make safari organizations to the remote wilderness of the Tsavo East National Park. DSWT also operates Galdessa Camp – fringed with doum palms and overlooking the Yatta Plateau along Galana River, and Galdessa Little Camp – a luxurious yet wild experience located within Tsavo East Nat. Park.
