Voyager Ziwani Camp
Voyager Ziwani Camp
Voyager Ziwani Camp offers a peaceful escape on the western edge of Tsavo West National Park, overlooking a serene dam fed by the Sante River. The camp’s layout includes a main building leading onto vibrant green lawns that host a mix of indoor and outdoor seating options. Dining takes place in an open-air restaurant, with the unique option of enjoying meals under the stars, often accompanied by traditional Masai performances. A cozy, stone-walled bar in one corner of the camp completes the relaxed safari ambiance.
Voyager Ziwani Camp is ideal for both families and individual safari-goers. A dedicated explorer’s club is available for young adventurers, offering fun and educational activities. Adults can engage in learning about the local Masai culture through evening dance shows and cultural talks held at the camp.
Guests who wish to enhance their safari experience beyond wildlife viewing can opt for excursions to notable nearby attractions. These include the scenic Chala and Jipe volcanic lakes, the historical Grogan’s Castle, and a World War II battlefield known as ‘Slaughter Hill’. Other unique experiences include astronomy lessons under the African sky and visits to the historic ‘Sniper Tree’ at Gicheha farm.
Location
Voyager Ziwani Camp is situated in a private sanctuary just beyond the western boundary of Tsavo West National Park. It can be accessed either by road or air, with a convenient all-weather airstrip located right at the camp’s edge, making fly-in safaris a stress-free option. For road travelers, it’s a four-hour drive from Nairobi, through stunning Kenyan landscapes.
Rooms / Tents
Accommodation at Voyager Ziwani Camp consists of 25 classic safari tents with canvas walls and reeded roofing. The tents are divided between the northern and southern banks of the Sante River, with 16 tents on the southern bank and 9 on the northern bank. Each tent is spacious and well-furnished, featuring a writing desk, comfortable seating area, and a large verandah overlooking the water — a prime location for wildlife watching.
Every tent comes with an en-suite bathroom equipped with a hot shower and a toilet. There are five deluxe tents that offer larger beds, expanded living areas, and more spacious bathrooms. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in each room, and guests enjoy a special touch with a wake-up call tray delivered to their tent every morning featuring their beverage of choice.
