Severin Safari Camp
Luxury tented camp · Tsavo West, between Mzima Springs and the Tsavo River · Leisure Investments Ltd, Severin group
High-end
Inside the park
Safari company
An unfenced camp between Mzima Springs and the Tsavo River, which means animals walk through it and you get an escort back to your tent after dark. There is a spa and a waterhole, and the published rates need a phone call to pin down because the website's currency label does not match its numbers.

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 at Severin Safari Camp
On request. The camp's own rate widget shows roughly 169, 232 and 263 for its three tent grades, but the currency renders as KES while the figures look like USD. Confirm both the currency and whether the rate is per person or per tent before you book.
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.
Questions about Severin Safari Camp
Is Severin Safari Camp good for families?
Yes, with care. Severin's own room descriptions show a Junior Suite sleeping two adults and two children, with a fold-out bed described as suitable for children, and an Executive Suite that connects to a neighbouring tent for larger groups. We found no numeric minimum age published anywhere on the site. The camp is unfenced, so you are escorted back to your tent after dark.
What does it cost to stay at Severin Safari Camp?
Severin's own rate widget shows roughly $169, $232 and $263 for its standard tent, Junior Suite and Executive Suite, but the currency is labelled KES while the figures read like USD, so confirm the actual price and whether it is per person or per tent before booking. Because the camp lies inside Tsavo West, park entry fees apply on top, every day you stay.
Is Severin Safari Camp safe, since it is unfenced?
Severin is deliberately unfenced, so animals and birds move freely through camp, including at the spa and along the paths. After dark, staff walk you back to your tent rather than leaving you to cross the grounds alone. Tsavo is high-risk malaria country all year, so the beds are netted and repellent is worth packing.
Can you self-drive to Severin Safari Camp?
Severin's own page does not describe road access or self-drive directions. The nearest airstrip is Kilaguni, and the camp sits inside Tsavo West between Mzima Springs and the Tsavo River, reachable either by air or by road through the park; confirm transfer options and road conditions with the camp directly.
