Keep your eyes peeled for the park’s iconic red-dusted elephants bathing along the Galana River, as well as herds of buffalo, giraffes, and elusive big cats roaming the savanna.

Journey to Tsavo West

Embark on an early morning game drive in Tsavo East to catch predators while they are still active in the cool morning air. Afterward, enjoy breakfast at the lodge before checking out and taking a scenic transit route across into Tsavo West National Park. Notice the dramatic change in terrain as the flat red plains give way to rolling green hills, acacia woodlands, and black volcanic rock formations. Arrive at your new lodge for lunch, followed by an afternoon drive to explore the dark, rugged Shetani Lava Flow and watch the sun dip behind the dramatic volcanic hills.
