Severin Safari Camp

LOCATION Severin Safari Camp is hidden in the remote Kitani Wildlife area of Tsavo West National Park overlooking the Mt. Kilimanjaro. The eco friendly luxury camp offers a unique combination of adventure, wellness and relaxation for the sophisticated traveler who loves romantic pampering and unique wildlife experiences. The remote location of the camp and that it is unfenced allows wildlife to cross the floodlit waterholes. Masai warriors guard the camp ground 24 hours and accompany guests after darkness to and from the tents. Tsavo West and East National Park is recognized as the third largest national park in the world and rich with great herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras and impalas passing through the area in search for patches of grass. With over 22.000 square kilometers there is a lot to discover during the game drives. We recommend guests to visit the Mzima Springs, Roaring Rocks, Rhino Sanctuary, Poacher's Lookout, Taita and Chyulu Hills, Chaimu Crater and the various lava caves as the Laviathan. The Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust is a community based wildlife project, established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino, and to restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state.

Above and Beyond

Reviewed By guy1996

On our journey to the Chyulus out of Tsavo, part of the road collapsed causing our Landover to fall down a valley onto its roof. Luckily all the passengers were only minorly injured and I dislocated my shoulder. Nick Haller arranged two teams to collect us and take us back to Severin Camp. Severin Camp put us up for the night and I stayed there the next 3 nights trying to retrieve the car. It’s in moments of crisis like this when the people who really care go above an beyond to help. I reached out to the Tsavo trust, KWS, Wardens Engineers, Finch Hattons Camp and others. However they didn’t even return my calls after my plea for help. KWS wanted to charge me 150 k for their tractor loader. And the Senior warden Oyugi even made me pay for the park entry of my recovery teams and vehicles. However Severin camp were excellent in offering help. They allowed me the use of their vehicles to go the the crash site daily (over an hour away) and return in the evening. Philip, the camp technician, drove me there each day. On the day we finally got the car out by lifting it with a bucket loader from Mtito, Phillip helped with the whole recovery process. When the digger was pulling the recovered car back to Mtito Andei it was about to run out of fuel. Philip rushed me to Mtito late that evening to return with enough diesel to refuel the digger and let the car be towed the rest of the way. Daniels, the head at reception, was very helpful in organising this and gave us lifts from the main camp to our Banda seeing as we did not have a vehicle of our own now. All the other staff were equally as helpful when they were on duty. Severin even gave us a 10% discount due to the circumstances. During our extended stay I found it hard to fault the camp. The food was delicious, all the facilities were excellent and the camp was beautifully maintained. Thank you for all the extra help you gave us.

An Amazing Hidden Treasure

Reviewed By freddwaruh

Place os really beautiful and quiet. Very serene cleanliness is top notch. They have very sizeable rooms and big bathrooms. Also there are fans that help controlling the 32°c temperature. The pool is clean and accommodates all ages and experience levels. The staff is very friendly don't shy away from requesting assistance. High recommendations for the food as well and all this in an affordable package. The list goes on and on Close to the Marine Park Beach and other great sites (Vasco da gama, snake farm, first church, Pier, also not that far is the gede ruins) Low note. Sheets and towels need faster replacing. Would have loved to get some shower gels and lotions to reducing luggage. An AC would still be better than fans but I guess cost would go up as well. Also pick up and drop off from the airport would really be great.

Just to start with, words cannot fully describe the experience. We had 2 villas since we were a large group and they were incredible,comfortable and very accommodating for everyone. The villas are spacious with enough places to relax for everyone without feeling crowded and the pool too though it appeared small was very fun to be in with the whole group. Jaliwa and Gloria made the trip even more wonderful for the meals the prepared us throughout the day and showing us all around Watamu .The food was incredible and the villa was a perfect choice.The villa isn't next to the beach but its like a 5 min drive and you can also go to various beaches along the stretch. Would definitely recommend coming here and it can accommodate everyone from couples to families to groups of friends. Thanks again to Massimo and his team Jaliwa,Gloria and the rest.Will be back soon

A beautiful, quiet and characterful hotel set back from the more touristy parts of Shela. With its idiosyncratic style and intimate feel, Jua House feels more like a guest house; the personal service provided by Amani and his team was also impeccable, and, as everyone says, the breakfast is superb.

Wauw! This place is amazing :). I went there by myself to chill and relax and it was perfect. It's a small oasis. The staff is amazing, the food is great, and the swimming pool is really nice! The room I had was really tidy and spacious. It's not located at the beach but it's only a short drive there if you have a car, and if you don't, like me, the owners are happy to help you arrange a tuktuk or taxi. That is another great thing, Kylie and Juri are super friendly and helpful, and also just the loveliest people. I came by train and they arranged a pick-up/drop-off for me. I would highly recommend this place and would love to come back, hopefully soon :).
