About Severin Safari Camp

A pleasant safari lodge in Kenya's scenically stunning Tsavo West.
Severin Safari Camp is situated in Kenya's Tsavo West National Park, just across the border from Mount Kilimanjaro. At over 9,000 square kilometres, Tsavo West is a sizeable park best known for its red earth, vast plains and big elephants. While the wildlife often disperses during the summer months, it congregates around the few permanent sources of water from June to October making for highly productive game viewing. Severin is set amongst the umbrella-ed acacias, on a wide open plain that teems with wildlife, and although quite a large lodge, Severin does a commendable job of keeping a wild feel about it, while maintaining an impressive level of luxury for the price.

Property details

The property

The main building consists of an open-sided lounge and dining room with a high thatched ceiling to keep things cool. In the lounge, there's three sofas and lots of canvas camp chairs, positioned to look directly out onto the bush and at the rear, a lovely wooden bar for sampling the local cocktails! There's also a small gym with a bike, a treadmill and a few weights but the most attractive part of camp is, without doubt, the sizable pool and beautiful spa.

The rooms

There are twenty-seven rooms in total, spread out relatively closely in an arc and looking out towards several small waterholes and the bush beyond. They include twenty-one octagonal tents, simply furnished and most with twin beds, and two junior "Mawenzi" suites, and four cottage suites. Suites are almost double the size of the tents (with an extra lounge area), and their bathrooms come with bathtubs or outdoor showers. The suites are also further from the main area and afford more privacy.

Activities

Game drives are the best way to see the park's impressive scenery and wildlife. The ephemeral Tsavo River attracts large numbers of game, including elephant, while the distant mountains and volcanoes provide a perfect backdrop to the acacia-dotted plains. The park is also home to the world's longest continuous lava flow whose blackness is in stark contrast to the otherwise red earth. The Mzima Spring, with its underwater hide, provides unique viewing of swimming hippos and crocodiles. You can also book a two-hour long night drive to search out some nocturnal action. The best game viewing is between June and October, though the park is prettiest after the summer rains.
