Sentrim Tsavo is situated on the seasonal Voi River in Tsavo East National Park. It is a camp in the true "old style". Each tent has flush toilet and shower with hot and cold water. Power is supplied by generator and also solar powered lighting at night. Food, of local and international origines, is prepared over open braziers.
The camp is surrounded by Boskia trees and othe local vegetation. It over looks a waterhole where the animals come to drink. Game drives through the Tsavo East park offer the chance to view the spectacular scenary and wildlife for which this park is famous.
The combined area of Tsavo East and West National Parks makes Tsavo one of the world's largest game sanctuaries, larger than Wales in Great Britain or Jamaica in the Caribbean. Lying about halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa it covers 20,812 square kilometers. Tsavo East is larger and more arid than Tsavo West and is less frequented.
The vegetation around Tsavo East National Park is savannah grassland with thorny bushes and some swampy marshland near Voi River. The landscape is unique because of the Yatta Plateau formed from the lava that oozed from Ol Doinyo Sabuk Mountain.
Only a small area of Tsavo East National Park's vast nature reserve, larger by far than Tsavo West, is open to the public although new areas for human intrusion are now being added. The remainder provides a remote animal wilderness.
