Kilaguni

Tsavo West's oldest accommodation, simple self-catering bandas just a few kilometres from Mzima Springs in the heart of the park, with use of the pool and spa at neighbouring Severin Safari Camp.

A cluster of budget self-catering cottages dating from the 1950s, each with a small kitchenette, en-suite bathroom and beds for up to three. Set deep inside Tsavo West close to Mzima Springs, they suit independent travellers happy to cater for themselves. Meals and facilities are available at neighbouring Severin Safari Camp, a short drive away.
