Patterson’s Safari Camp – Tsavo East Hotels
Tucked away on the banks of Athi River in Tsavo East National Park, Patterson’s Safari Camp is the perfect escape for an extended bush stay, a stop en route in your safari or an overnight bush break from the beaches of the Kenya coast. The camp features 20 en suite tents, all with spacious verandahs offering views of the river.
Our eco-friendly design provides a low impact, truly natural experience without the need to sacrifice comfort.
Meals can be served on the banks of the river, al fresco with the shade of trees or in the comfort of our restaurant.
Patterson’s Safari Camp comprises of 20 spacious en suite tents. Each tent is fully furnished with one king or two single beds. On advanced request, an additional bed can be added to make a triple accommodating a child sharing or third adult.
Tents have solar generated electricity for lighting and a covered verandah with chairs and tables. The tents are permanently built on raised cement foundations and a thatched roof provides additional protection as well as natural cooling.
There is also a shaded seating area near the reception as well as a fully licensed bar serving a variety of popular beverages and a restaurant serving three daily meals featuring international cuisine prepared from fresh local Kenya meat and produce.
All tents face the Arthi River with the backdrop of the Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow formed from the Ol Doinyo Sabuk Mountain which runs 290km along the western boundary of the National Park above the Arthi River. All tents are surrounded by riverine vegetation, which is maintained in its natural state and is where animals come to feed. Hippo and elephant dung are often seen together with footprints near the tents.
All meals are prepared at the camp from fresh local produce and a selection of meat from local farms and seafood from the Indian Ocean and Lake Victoria. Dishes vary each day and there is always a vegetarian selection. We are happy to cater to specific dietary needs with advance notice.
Depending on the conditions, breakfast may be served at the edge of the river. Lunch is usually informal and many guests choose to eat under the shade of the many trees in the camp’s central area. Dinner is served in our spacious dining room.
Our fully licensed bar offers soft drinks, fresh juice, cold Kenyan’s beer, a selection of imported wines and popular spirits. Perhaps you might try one of our famous cocktails.
