Amazing 3 day safari in Tsavo East!
We had an amazing 3-day Safari in Tsavo East arranged by Lucy from Mufasa Tours and Travels.
Lucy was extremely patient - answering all my 800 questions in the booking process – and after! She was helpful and kind, and she managed to arrange the perfect Safari for our little family!
We brought our 2 children of 6 and 9 years, and everything went so well!
Our driver knew the plan and the lodge, so he had everything under control, meaning that we could focus entirely on just taking in the beautiful surroundings and the impressive animals we met.
Our driver, Mahmud, was very kind, easy to talk to, humorous and very knowledgeable! It was clear that he knew the park very well and knew where to look to spot the different animals. He really made a great effort, and we managed to see everything we hoped for!
Mahmud suggested that on our final morning, we took an extra game drive in the park before he would drop us off at the train station. So instead of just an ‘en route’ game drive to the train station, we spent 1,5 hours spotting animals for the last time. This is where we saw the Leopard up close. It was an incredible experience. Simply amazing!
The duration of 3 days (2 nights) was perfect for us, travelling with kids that age. It was long enough for us to get the real experience and spotting all the animals we hoped for, but not so long that the children lost interest and got impatient.
We were picked up at 06.30 in our Hotel in Diani Beach on the first day, went to the park and had our first game drive on our way to the lodge.
We had 2 nights at the Voi Safari Lodge and when the safari was over, we were dropped off at the train station in Voi from where we took the train to Nairobi.
Mahmud helped us get the tickets in the ticket office and made sure all was clear before he left.
It was very easy and safe to take the train from the Voi station to Nairobi, so I can recommend that as well.
I would certainly recommend booking through Mufasa Tours and Travels if you wish to go on Safari in Tsavo!
