Somalisa Expeditions
Somalisa Expeditions sits in a quiet acacia grove on a small floodplain overlooking a waterhole that draws roaming elephant herds — an area locally known as "the land of the giants." It's listed separately from Somalisa Camp/Acacia on TripAdvisor, with guests praising old-world safari authenticity and strong elephant sightings from the floodplain waterhole, positioned distinctly as a classic, rustic alternative to its more polished sister camps.
The camp is intentionally small, with 6 Meru-style canvas tents on raised wooden platforms, en-suite, each with a private veranda facing the bush — evoking the character of a bygone-era safari camp rather than a contemporary finish. Dining and lounge areas follow a traditional mess-tent style, with capacity for around 12 guests.
Activities include morning and afternoon game drives and immersive walking safaris, run on the same Somalisa concession as sister camps Somalisa Camp and Somalisa Acacia but with a deliberately old-school, expedition-style character throughout.
