3-DAY TSAVO EAST AND WEST NATIONAL PARK SAFARI

Starts From/Returns to Mombasa, Kilifi, Bamburi & North Coast beach areas. We’ll pick you up from your hotel or resort.

The wildlife of Kenya is waiting to be discovered, so take a break from your beach vacation and safari out with us to explore two of our finest national parks. Tsavo East and Tsavo West are famous for their marauding lions, herding elephants and scores of varied animals roaming over their broad savannahs. You’ll be looking for dozens of species on this short, easy 3-day adventure here.

Tsavo East National Park is the largest park in Kenya, and its sparse vegetation makes game spotting more accessible. You may see the unique Tsavo lions whose males lack the familiar big manes. And the elephants are known to roll in the park’s red-dust soil, showing off their bright coats on the way to one of the famous watering holes.

Though close-by, Tsavo West National Park will offer you a different experience with its scenic hills, rich deep colours and lush springs. Expect to come upon the striking baobab trees as you track for the “Big Five” – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant. This diverse park also offers habitats of monkeys and baboons. Let us know how you want to plan your safari vacation, and we’ll make it happen even if it’s spur of the moment!

ALL-INCLUSIVE. Your 3-Day Tsavo East/Tsavo West safari includes park entrance fees, game drives, accommodations and meals. Our Safaris always offers a wide choice of accommodations. Depending on your budget and style choose from economy, comfort or luxury safari lodges or tented camps.

However… please know that whatever level of accommodation you choose, your actual safari adventure with us will always be at our highest standards.

Your Guide. For your 3-day journey, you’ll be guided, hosted and looked after by me and our own experienced driver/guide.

Transportation between parks and game viewing will be in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep – this vehicle is the safari standard with its higher seating and rugged all-wheel drive.

MOMBASA - TSAVO EAST - TSAVO WEST SAFARI

MOMBASA – TSAVO EAST (180 KMS – Approx. 3 hours)

Meal Plan: Lunch, Dinner

The safari begins with a pickup at your beach hotel or resort. We’ll take the Mombasa – Nairobi Highway, viewing farmlands and Kenya countryside along the way.

The route to Tsavo East is fairly short and upon reaching the park, we’ll stop for refreshments before heading out on our first game drive. You’ll feel the safari excitement as we rumble over the broad grasslands looking for the larger and smaller wildlife like eland, impala, giraffe, and zebra.

After our first taste of this legendary park, we’ll break for lunch and fortify ourselves for more great game viewing during the afternoon. The pace will be relaxed – there will be plenty of time to discover the big game during our 3-day safari.

As we track for the wildlife all about us in this massive park, we’ll also get to witness one of Africa’s blazing sunsets.

Overnight at your Tsavo east safari lodge/ tented camp.

DAY 2

TSAVO EAST – TSAVO WEST (60 km – Approx. 1 hr.)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Safari

We’ll be up before the sun to watch the dawn illuminate the plains around us. The first wildlife awakens, venturing out into the open savannah as we experience the park coming to life.

After breakfast, we’ll venture forth once more in search of hunters and grazers. We’re sure to spot wildlife at Mudanda Rock, a whale-backed formation creating a natural dam. This unique watering hole is a natural draw for elephants and other animals looking for water in this wild and rugged park.

Later, we’ll take the short drive to neighboring Tsavo West. But this jaunt will also be a game drive as we cross from park to park looking for the “Big Five” and the lesser wildlife.

At Tsavo West National Park, we’ll make a stop at a unique enclosure – the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary. This 70 sq. km (27 sq. mi) protected area is home to some 80 black rhino and is one of the few places where one can view these massive but shy creatures.

DAY 3: TSAVO WEST – MOMBASA (240 kms – Approx. 5-6 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch

We’ll be up early again to make the most of our day. This is a pre-breakfast exploration of the park, for us… and the wildlife. And we’ll all enjoy the deepening colours of the land as the sun burns off the early morning dew.

Later, after the delicious fortitude of a safari breakfast, we’ll strike out for Mzima Springs. This unexpected oasis is fed by crystal-clear waters providing a living habitat for aquatic and land creatures. Its lush greenery stands in marked relief from the rugged plains of the park.

We’ll step from our 4 x 4 Jeep and take a nature walk under the raffia-lined shores, looking for hippo, crocodile, colourful fish and birds. Terrestrial wildlife flocks here as well, so be on guard for zebra and giraffe wandering amongst the acacia trees.

TSAVO WEST – MOMBASA (240 km. Approx. 5 – 6 hrs.)

As afternoon approaches, it’s soon time to head back to the Kenya coast. We should have you back at your resort or hotel in the late afternoon or early evening. If you request, we can bring you to the Mombasa airport as well.

We’ve packed a lot into our 3-day safari, and we know you’ll have photos to show and stories to tell about your new adventures. Thank you!
