It’s situated 15km upstream of Laggards’ Falls and is approximately 326km from Nairobi (a 5-hour drive), 31/2 hours from Mombasa, and a quick 1-hour flight from Nairobi or a 30-minute flight from Mombasa and Malindi. Manyani Airstrip is only a 30-minute transfer away from the camp.
At Galdessa Safari Camp, you can enjoy an exclusive and luxurious stay in semi-tented bungalows with thatched roofs, situated on raised wooden decks.
