Mwaluganje Camp

LOCATION

25 km south of Mombasa and 25 km inland from the Indian Ocean, the sanctuary is connected to Shimba Hills National Reserve via a natural wildlife corridor. It takes around 1 – 1.5 hours to reach the sanctuary from Diani Beach. The nearest town is Kwale, 30 minutes away by car (along a very rough road!)

ACCOMMODATION

Capacity: sleeps up to 60

Camp Mwaluganje consists of several large dome tents that sleep 3 people each. Every tent has ventilation and a built in fly screen to keep it cooler during the day and ensure an insect-free sleep – providing you remember to keep the zip closed! Individual sleeping units consist of a high-density mattress, a pillow, sheets and a blanket.

Kitchen & Dining: Field kitchen that is situated under the shade of a large baobab tree and staffed by a local cook who supplies a daily menu of three healthy, well balanced and very tasty meals a day, all made from local produce. We can cater for a variety of different dietary requirements so just let us know before you travel. All of our camps have a plentiful supply of clean drinking water. There is a large thatched, open-sided dining and social area in the centre of camp.

Toilets & Showers: There are two flushing toilets in camp and two mobile cold-water showers. Water is a scarce commodity here and so the use of water for showering and doing laundry may be restricted.

Laundry: Limited water available for hand washing clothes.

Social: Large social and dining area, campfire, stunning panoramic views of the sanctuary.

Power Supply: Generator for 1-2 hours in the evening – so make sure you take plenty of batteries! UK standard 3-pin plug sockets.

Phone signal: Poor.

Other Facilities: None.

Security: The camp is unfenced but the camp boundary is clearly visible. There is a security guard on duty.
