Day 1

Journey from Mombasa to the Legendary Tsavo East

Journey from Mombasa to the Legendary Tsavo East

Depart early from Mombasa and drive through changing coastal landscapes into the vast expanse of Tsavo East, known for its iconic red-coated elephants and sweeping savannahs. Entering the park feels like stepping into a wilder, older Africa; where giraffes cross the plains, zebras gather near waterholes, and lions often rest in the shade as the day warms. Enjoy an unhurried game drive toward the exit gate, taking in the park’s dramatic openness and classic wildlife scenes. Continue your scenic journey to Tsavo West, where the terrain shifts into rolling hills and volcanic formations. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and an afternoon of relaxation. Spend the rest of the day unwinding, soaking in panoramic views, or enjoying lodge amenities as the sounds of the wild echo around you. End the evening with dinner and a peaceful night in Tsavo West.

Day 2

Scenic Transfer from Tsavo East to the Rugged Beauty of Tsavo West

Scenic Transfer from Tsavo East to the Rugged Beauty of Tsavo West

Begin your morning with a game drive when Tsavo West is at its most atmospheric: cool air, golden light, and wildlife actively moving between woodlands and rocky ridges. Look out for elephants, buffalos, Masai giraffes, zebras, and predators that may still be on the move after a night of hunting. After breakfast, visit the enchanting Mzima Springs, a lush oasis fed by underground streams from the Chyulu Hills. From the underwater chamber, watch hippos glide beneath the surface, and fish drift quietly through clear waters. Continue exploring the rugged landscapes of Tsavo West, including lava flows, acacia forests, and scenic valleys. After lunch at your lodge, enjoy an afternoon at leisure or an optional shorter game drive. As evening settles, return for dinner and a restful night surrounded by Tsavo’s dramatic wilderness.

Tsavo West Sunrise Safari

Set out for a final sunrise game drive across Tsavo West’s striking scenery; rolling hills, volcanic ridges, and open plains where wildlife stirs to life with the first light. Elephants move gracefully through the morning mist, antelopes graze quietly, and birdlife fills the air with colour and sound. This peaceful early drive offers memorable photographic moments and a perfect wrap-up to your safari. Return to the lodge for breakfast, then check out and begin your journey back to Mombasa. The route offers scenic views of rural landscapes, the rising Taita Hills, and stretches of untouched wilderness. Arrive in the afternoon with a sense of fulfillment, carrying vivid memories of Tsavo’s contrasting beauty, its vast eastern plains and its rugged, volcanic western terrain.
