5:00 am – Your 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, colouring 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 other waterholes 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.
Lunch break will be in a lodge inside the park.
Then it’s a short drive to neighbouring sister park, Tsavo West, whose green rolling hills contrast with the morning’s desert-like game drives.
This park also features lots of big game sightings.
The sun will start lowering into a beautiful African sunset as we head to our Tsavo West accommodation to relax and enjoy dinner.
Overnight at your safari lodge / tented camp.
