Mombasa/Diani – Tsavo East National Park
Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your coastal hotel followed by a drive along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway toward Tsavo East National Park, entering through the Bachuma or Sala Gate, depending on your starting point. Tsavo East is famed for its wide-open landscapes, Baobab trees, and dust-red elephants that roam freely across the savannah. Upon entry, enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge or camp, spotting herds of elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and perhaps a lion resting under an acacia. Arrive at your lodge, such as Voi Safari Lodge or Ashnil Aruba Lodge, in time for lunch. After a short rest, you’ll procceed on an afternoon game drive to explore more of the park, including landmarks like Aruba Dam and Mudanda Rock, known for attracting large numbers of wildlife. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight, with opportunities to observe nocturnal wildlife around the nearby waterholes.
Tsavo East – Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast and a short early morning game drive to maximize wildlife sightings, check out and begin your scenic drive toward Tsavo West National Park, entering through Tsavo River or Maktau Gate. Along the way, enjoy en-route game viewing and take in the striking change in terrain—from open plains to rocky hills and lava flows. Arrive at your lodge or camp, such as Ngulia Safari Lodge, Kilaguni Serena Lodge, or Voyager Ziwani Camp, in time for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive to explore Tsavo West’s dramatic landscapes and rich wildlife, with highlights such as the Mzima Springs, where you may spot hippos and crocodiles through underwater viewing chambers. Keep an eye out for leopards, eland, and klipspringers in the rocky outcrops. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Tsavo West – Return to Mombasa/Diani/Coast
Start your final day with an early morning game drive, the best time to spot predators like lions or hyenas on the move before the heat of the day sets in. After the drive, return to the lodge for breakfast and check-out. Begin your journey back to your coastal destination, passing through scenic rural Kenya. Arrive at your beach hotel in Mombasa, Diani, Watamu, or Malindi by mid to late afternoon.
