Owner/family-run
The obvious stop if you are doing both parks, one kilometre off the A109 at Mtito Andei where the railway crossed the Tsavo River in 1898. It keeps a small museum on that history, and every one of its thirty-one tents faces the river the story happened on.
Why you'd pick it
- Every tent has a balcony over the Tsavo River
- On-site museum covering the 1898 railway history
- Two km from Tsavo West and ten from Tsavo East, so it serves both

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Tsavo National Parks charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate, and East and West are ticketed separately.
- $80per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 600 a day for a typical hire car, roughly $5.
- $5per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $495 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
A combination ticket covering both parks saves about $35 over two single tickets.
The full fee schedule for Tsavo National ParksRates
On request. Rates are not published and are quoted per person. Sitting on the highway between both parks, it is normally sold as a one-night stop rather than a base, so check whether meals are included.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates gathered in July 2026 from operators' own rate cards and the official KWS tariffs. Watch the pricing basis: most Tsavo camps quote per person per night sharing, while Serena, the KWS guest houses and the self-catering bandas quote per room or per unit, so two sets of numbers are not directly comparable. KWS conservation fees are extra almost everywhere at $80 per adult per park per day, plus KSh 600 for a car under six seats.
