Mombasa to Tsavo East
At 08h00, after breakfast, check out and drive to Tsavo East National Park. Tsavo East forms part of the vast Tsavo National Park, together with Tsavo West National Park. Tsavo East, the largest of the two, is midway between Nairobi and the coastal town of Mombasa. Elephants roam freely in this arid bush that forms part of the Yatta Plateau. Larger mammals are abundant, including hirola, gerenuk, lesser kudu, waterbuck, crocodile, hippo, elephant, leopard, lion, buffalo, and rhino.
It’s not all about animals, though, as major physical attractions abound. You can also explore the Galana River, the Lugard Falls and their weirdly eroded rocks, and the Mudanda Rock next to Aruba Dam - an elephant haven. Cameras should not be forgotten, as over 500 bird species add to the perfect shot opportunities. Arrive in time for lunch and check in at Voi Safari Lodge. Later, after leisure time, go on a game drive in the park, returning late in the evening to your lodge.

This park is a birdwatcher’s paradise, and the range of flora is truly captivating. Rocky ridges in the park are a major geophysical attraction, and the Mzima Springs are the source of Mombasa’s water. These springs are recharged daily with hundreds of millions of crystal-clear water litres by underground streams from the Chyulu Hills. At Mzima, various animals gather for a drink, particularly in the Dry season. You can spot crocodiles and hippos here.
