Tsavo National Park East

Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will swing by early to get your safari going. You’ll depart in your private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Safari Jeep taking the Likoni Ferry to Mombasa and then by highway to Tsavo East. Along our route, you’ll witness the African sunrise, coloring the passing landscapes and preparing us for the exciting day ahead. Arriving at Tsavo East National Park, you’ll encounter a vast area of rugged terrain and big sky. We’ll head to the watering holes like Aruba Dam and the Kanderi marshes where large numbers of wildlife gather. Notice the park’s foundation of red-oxide soil – its populations of elephants like to roll in this rusty earth giving themselves a reddish hue. Besides elephants, we’ll be tracking for lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, antelope, and the hundreds of bird species sprinkled throughout the park. Then it’s a short drive to neighboring sister park, Tsavo West, whose green rolling hills contrast with the morning’s desert-like game drives.

Tsavo National Park West

Let’s enjoy another African sunrise as we begin the day with an early game drive. This is a beautiful and peaceful time to view the wildlife as the sunlight breaks upon the fields and hills, the fresh dewy scent of the park all around us. We’ll return to our accommodation for breakfast, enjoying the sights and sounds of the natural world. Then we’ll head out to one of the park’s wonders – Mzima Springs. This lush area is fed by millions of gallons of crystalline water. We’ll leave our 4 x 4 to walk along the shaded banks and take in the fish, birds, hippos, and crocodiles at this cool oasis. Soon it’s time to head back to the coast. Your driver/guide will point us toward the highway and bring you to your resort in the early evening. Back at your beach resort you’ll reflect on all you’ve seen over the past two days – wildlife and landscapes that have brought new dimensions to your Kenya beach holiday. We hope you had a wonderful time and thank you for your kind patronage. Asante!
