We’ll be up early for a busy safari day, traveling along the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway. Enjoy a picturesque drive along the Kenyan countryside.
Safari
Entering the gates of Tsavo East is a portal into a new realm where the wildlife has held forth for millennia and man is a relative newcomer. But you’ll feel at home here as the animal sightings add to your experience and memories.
We’ll travel over to the park’s famous watering holes like the Aruba Dam and the Kamderi marsh areas where the game gathers for the life-giving waters.
Lunch follows and time for rest, as a pause in the mid-day heat.
Later in the afternoon, we’ll embark on another game drive collecting more big game sightings and then we’re off to Tsavo West Park for another type of wildlife adventure.
The black rhino is a commanding but shy creature. The rhino sanctuary here is home to over 80 of these endangered animals. During our game drives, we’ll head over and see how many of the rhinos we can find.
Overnight
We’ll spend the evening in the park, at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp.
We’ll be up early for our second safari day to see as much wildlife as possible. There’s nothing like Africa’s golden light breaking over the hills and forest, calling to us and the animals, to emerge into the morning and see what adventures lie ahead.
Breakfast will follow at your accommodation. And then we hit the safari trail looking for more adventure as we track the “Big Five” plus smaller hunters and grazers like impala, hartebeest and the adorable bush baby.
Traveling over the park’s trails we’ll come upon the green palms and crystal waters of Mzima Springs, a life-giving haven for Tsavo’s wildlife. Here, we’ll leave our 4 x 4 to stretch and walk along the green shores to view hippo, crocodile, fish and varieties of birds. Also attracted to this refuge are many of the park’s animals, like zebra, monkeys, baboons and sometimes elephants.
Speaking of elephants, Tsavo West hosts a large population of these majestic figures and we’ll be looking for them amongst the rolling hills and plains,
But finally, it’s time to head back to the Kenya Coast. We’ve had two full days of wild parkland travel and wild animal sightings. Thank you for being our guest!
