Recommend Lodge for a Safari.

Crocodile Camp is not located in, but right outside of the Tsavo East Ntl Park near the Sala Entrance (about 3 km before).
It is overlooking the Galana River, separated from it (and from it?s inhabitants) by a small wall.
The Rooms are bungalow like small huts, all nicely looked after and grooped around green areas.
You are eating in a bigger Hut with open sides. Afterwards you can go sitting around the camp fire, listening to the noises in the wild.

Every evening at 9 o?clock they feed the crocodiles. (see nightlife tip).
Before they start throwing the flesh down, they make quite a proceedure calling the crocos, but even so you won?t see them every evening, especially if the caught something themselfes they won?t show up for the small meat parts they get here.
Anyway, what the big sauriers don?t eat, the smaller will. There are also some Nile-Warans around that will eat the leftovers.

The Camp is well tended for and has a wonderful view of the River. A little unfortunate is, that mostly you will not see much of it, because during the day one is on the way in the park. But if you have some time, stay a little at the border to the River here. have a look at the weaving birds making their hanging nests and at the crocodiles that lie sleepily in the sun on small islands in the River.

In the night you should not leave your Room. Although the crocodiles can normally not come up the wall and into the camp and the staff is guarding it, there are sometimes Hippos and Elefants visiting.
