Kalacha Camp is situated in the Chalbi Desert in north eastern Kenya on the edge of a permanent oasis. The camp consists of 4 simple bandas with twin beds and each banda has its own en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and cold shower.

Kalacha Camp is a very simple camp, built using local materials, including dom palm trunks for the poles, and leaves woven into mats, which have been used for the roof and walls.

The camp consists of four bandas with huge convex thatched roofs – keeping the rooms cool, twin beds and en-suite bathroom with flush toilet. The bandas have a small veranda on the front, and overlook the oasis. The mess area is an open-plan circular building.

A kidney shaped swimming/plunge pool partly enters into the mess area – and is an extremely refreshing escape from the hot, dry desert weather.

Kalacha is off the beaten track and provides an exciting destination for those with an adventurous streak.
