Budget accommodation in Tsavo West National Park generally provides basic facilities. Many budget lodges are located outside the park to keep prices lower, but there are also some options inside the park, mainly in the form of campsites and tented camps. These often offer public camping areas with shared bathrooms and toilets.
Budget lodges outside the park may have self-contained rooms with private bathrooms. This type of accommodation is ideal for students, backpackers, or travelers who prefer to spend less on lodging and use more of their budget for game drives, nature walks, and other activities.
