英文原文

In a minimum time of a full week-end you will be able to see many of the larger wild animals – noted of the high-minded Big 5 – and one or two interesting places within the Tsavo National Parks, East and West, which cover almost 20,800 km2 of wildest Kenya. But to see all that Tsavos have to offer, you would need months, if not years, to discover their wonders. There are plenty of circuits, well over 2000 kms of murram surfaced roads, for game viewing over both parks with lunch and layovers at one of many famous lodges easy without too much advance planning.

As the road system improves, more circuits become defined. Among the popular safari camps at the southern area of Tsavo East National Park, in an area seeped in history and teeming with wildlife. is the Patterson’s Safari Camp, tucked away on the banks of Galana River with mile upon mile of proto-wilderness. The camp has 20 safari-style tents (5 luxury and 15 family) all en-suite with hot running water, a small veranda with seats and a coffee table. Visitors can opt for a tent with a great big four poster bed or two single beds depending on lodging needs or preference.

The family camps can accommodate up to a maximum of 8, comfortably. There is a lounge and dining area linked to the rooms with paved walk ways. Its name is a tribute to John Henry Patterson, one of the great eccentrics in the building of the infamous Uganda Railway – given a hero’s acclaim for slaying the man-eaters of Tsavo. His acclaimed self-same book, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo (1907), detailing his experiences while building a railway bridge over Tsavo River, and inspiring three films – Bwana Devil (1952), Killers of Kilimanjaro (1959) and The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) – is an excellent read while staying here. It instantly connects you to a fascinating distant past, in a landscape that has changed little since then.

The wild bush and scrub country seen today at the Tsavos, covered in the dryer season with red dust, is probably much the same as it was in 1898 when Colonel Patterson was posted here. He came to build the Tsavo Bridge and take over the construction of that section of the Uganda railway. The place takes its name from the permanent swift-flowing Tsavo River, which the Mombasa bound traveller can sight from the road and train as a belt of green winding through the hot, dusty landscape. According to Colonel Patterson’s reports, there was always a mass of game in the area, and even today when you travel by train or road from Nairobi to Mombasa, it is not at all rare to see herds of elephants eating in the bush, giraffe, zebra and buck roaming, quite unconcerned by the many speeding cars and train.
