Travelers Mwaluganje Camp

Travelers Mwaluganje Camp; Travelers Mwaluganje Camp is set in the heart of the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary, in the Mwaluganje Hills and a 45 km drive from Mombasa, Kenya's city seaport and Coast capital, the camp is set along the shoulder of a low hill facing a traditional elephant trail, allowing guests to watch the elephants from the comfort of their well-appointed comfortable tents. The tents are twenty, simple, twin-room structures with mosquito nets and are self contained. There are often no mosquitoes though.

Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary is a conservation area for elephants, the great African pachyderm whose numbers were threatened, until quite recently, by the world demand for its precious ivory tusks. Today, thanks to committed conservation action by Kenya's government and private bodies, the elephant is on the road to recovery. Mwaluganje is a shining example of private efforts to make sure this magnificent animal does not disappear.

 

Set in the heart of the sanctuary is Travelers Mwaluganje Elephant Camp, along the shoulder of a low hill facing a traditional elephant trail, and which allows guests to watch the elephants from the comfort of their well-appointed luxury tents. This is the only tented camp in this new Elephant Sanctuary.

 

Travelers Mwaluganje Camp is the only tented camp in this new sanctuary, and guests have virtually the entire 6,000 acres to themselves. The bird life is prolific and will keep any bird watcher amazed at the variety and color of the birds regularly seen throughout the day and early evening.

 

The traditional African evening camp-fire is the highlight of the day, after an enthralling game drive through the forest and bush. Over a cocktail or cool drink, it is a time to recall the marvels of Africa's nature, and to wonder at the majesty and dignity of the stars of the show - the elephants.

 

Round off the day with a superbly-cooked meal under the stars, with the background music the hoot of an owl, the yelp of a jackal, the trumpeting of an elephant and occasionally the cough of a distant leopard. For a very different experience, Travelers Mwaluganje Elephant Camp offers the highest standards of comfort, good food, the same attentive and discreet service which characterizes the group and, of course, lots of elephants!
