Ithumba Hill Camp is owned by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. It is their newest self-catering retreat and was created to offer increased luxury for guests exploring Tsavo East’s remote northern area whilst visiting the Trust’s Ithumba elephant orphans. The luxury tented camp was opened in 2015. It has an elevated position halfway up Ithumba Hill, and enjoys breath-taking views across Tsavo’s vast landscape. Like the trusts two other properties, it has been designed for the more intrepid traveller who enjoys travelling off the beaten track.
Ithumba Hill has four spacious and elegant raised tented bedrooms. They sleep up to eight guests who have exclusive use of the camp. Each bedroom is built into its own secluded location on Ithumba Hill, and has an en-suite bathroom area exposed to the sky, and a spacious, elevated balcony with loungers. The floor-to-ceiling mesh gives 180 degree views of Ithumba’s stunning vistas. The rooms can be made into double or twin rooms with customised mattresses and high-quality linen.

This isn't your typical all-inclusive safari experience. A resident chef is available, but guests are responsible for bringing their own groceries.
