Lumo Community Wildlife Sanctuary · Tsavo, Kenya
Set on the lower slopes below Lions Bluff, Cheetah Tented Camp is the most accessible entry point into the Lumo Conservancy — six standard tents and two family tents, unfenced, with a shared mess area that catches some of the best sunset views in the cluster.
Being unfenced is a feature here, not a compromise — this is Africa close-up, with the accessible warmth of a camp that doesn't take itself too seriously. Yoga sessions are hosted here when scheduled; ask the team what's on during your stay.
Our team is here for you in the most natural and unobtrusive way. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, please allow us the pleasure of looking after you.

Cheetah Tented Camp sits within the Lumo Community Wildlife Sanctuary — community-managed, and a genuine conservation credential, not a marketing add-on — on the edge of Tsavo National Park, one of Kenya's largest protected areas. Ask the hospitality desk for the current excursions menu and availability.
Community-managed conservancy bordering Tsavo West and Tsavo East — one continuous wildlife corridor.
The dramatic hill range visible from the property — a completely different landscape a short drive away.
All three Lumo properties are reachable via the SGR (Standard Gauge Railway) to Voi, then a short road transfer — a genuine differentiator for Nairobi-based travellers.
Conservation and community projects operate across the sanctuary. Ask the manager directly if you'd like to get involved during your stay.
A few experiences are shared across all three Lumo properties — guests at Cheetah Tented Camp can access any of these.
A sunken hide overlooking a waterhole in the Lumo Conservancy, built for eye-level wildlife photography. Reachable from any of the three Lumo properties — ask the hospitality desk to arrange a session and current access times.
Morning and afternoon game drives into the Lumo Conservancy and neighbouring Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Shared guiding standards and vehicles across the cluster — ask reception for the day’s schedule.
Walk the conservancy on foot with an armed ranger — a different pace and perspective from the vehicle. Available across all three Lumo properties, subject to guide availability.
A drink in hand as the light drops over the Taita Hills — arranged out on the conservancy or from your own property’s vantage point. Ask the hospitality desk to set one up.
Tsavo’s low light pollution makes for exceptional stargazing. Ask about a night sky walk, especially around the new moon.
Our team arranges all activities and day trips. Ask the hospitality desk for the current excursions menu, availability, and pricing.
