Overview

Severin Safari Camp is widely regarded as one of Tsavo West National Park's finest tented properties, earning a loyal following for its spacious, elegantly appointed canvas suites, attentive and personalised service, and a genuine commitment to conservation and sustainable operations. Shaded walkways connect private tents to a central dining and bar area that overlooks a natural waterhole frequented by elephant and buffalo. Family-owned and operated with deep roots in Kenya's coastal and safari tourism, Severin brings a warmth and attention to detail that distinguishes it sharply from larger, more impersonal lodge properties.

Positioned within the diverse landscapes of Tsavo West National Park, Severin Safari Camp provides access to volcanic lava fields, underground spring systems, and sweeping savannah populated by elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, black rhino, lesser kudu, and fringe-eared oryx. The park's maneless lions are among Kenya's most compelling wildlife subjects, and the adjacent Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary offers dedicated rhino-tracking experiences. Birdlife is exceptional throughout the year. Dry months from June to October and January to February bring the clearest game-viewing conditions. Rates at Severin vary by travel season; low-season pricing will be added to make this outstanding camp accessible well beyond peak periods.
