Nestled on the edge of a secluded dam along the Sante River, this unique camp offers a perfect combination of adventure, comfort, and serenity.

Location – Where Wilderness Meets Tranquility

Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp is located just outside Tsavo West National Park, one of Kenya’s largest and most diverse parks. This prime location means guests can enjoy easy access to the park’s game-rich landscapes while returning to the peaceful seclusion of the camp in the evening.

The camp overlooks a serene dam, home to hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species. The sound of water lapping and hippos grunting under the moonlight creates a magical atmosphere that is both relaxing and immersive.

The camp’s proximity to the Tanzanian border also means it offers excellent views of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days, making it a photographer’s dream.

Accommodation – Luxury Tents with a Wild Touch

Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp features 25 luxury tents, all set along the dam’s edge, offering guests uninterrupted views of the water and the surrounding bush. Each tent is built on a raised wooden platform and features:

  • Comfortable twin or double beds with fresh linen

  • Private verandas with seating for game viewing

  • En-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers

  • Solar-powered lighting and eco-friendly facilities

The tents are spacious, airy, and beautifully designed to reflect a rustic safari charm while providing modern comfort. Guests can enjoy privacy and tranquility, with the sounds of the African night right outside their tent.

Activities at Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp

A stay at Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp is not just about where you sleep — it’s about the experiences that immerse you in Kenya’s wild beauty.

1. Guided Game Drives in Tsavo West

Game drives are the highlight of any safari, and Tsavo West delivers spectacular sightings. You can expect to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and a variety of antelope. The park is also known for its dramatic landscapes, including volcanic hills, lava flows, and natural springs like Mzima Springs.

Ziwani’s experienced driver-guides know the park intimately and will ensure you get the best possible wildlife sightings.

2. Night Game Drives

One of the unique features of Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp is the opportunity to enjoy night game drives — something not available in many parks. These drives allow you to spot nocturnal animals like civets, genets, aardvarks, bush babies, and even big cats on the prowl.

3. Guided Nature Walks

Guests can take nature walks around the camp with skilled naturalists who share their knowledge about local flora and fauna. This is a great way to see smaller creatures, learn about tracks and signs, and appreciate the ecosystem at a slower pace.

4. Birdwatching

The dam attracts a rich variety of birds, making Voyager Ziwani a paradise for bird lovers. Over 200 species have been recorded in the area, including herons, kingfishers, storks, and raptors.

5. Cultural Visits

Experience Maasai culture with visits to nearby villages where you can interact with local communities, learn about their traditions, and support their livelihoods through the purchase of authentic crafts.

6. Stargazing and Sundowners

The remote location of Ziwani means the night skies are free from light pollution. Enjoy spectacular stargazing sessions or toast the sunset with a chilled drink at scenic viewpoints arranged by the camp.

Dining – Flavors of the Savannah

Voyager Ziwani Safari Camp offers a delightful dining experience. Meals are served in a central dining area overlooking the dam, with the sounds of hippos in the background.

  • Breakfast: Full English breakfast or light continental options served with fresh fruit and Kenyan coffee.
