Patterson’s Camp has been set up in an area of historical significance and the site of one of Africa’s most celebrated adventure stories. This is where two nine-foot long lions, known by the locals as Ghost and Darkness, used to roam around at the end of the Nineteenth Century looking for human prey, devouring up to 140 railway workers in the process until they were shot by the camps namesake the courageous Colonel John Patterson, who was in charge of building the railroad bridge across the Tsavo river.
While driving to the camp, you will pass the railway track and bridge that feature prominently in the box office hit: The Ghost and the Darkness descendants of the man-eating lions of Tsavo continue to inspire fear and awe. |
