185 km – 2 ½ hr. drive
5:00 am – We’ll be up early and ready for our driver/guide who will swing by our hotel or resort in a 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep. Hop in and join your fellow adventurers for a full day of safari fun.

Now we’ll head down the Nairobi-Mombasa highway and watch the sun rising over the passing farms and homesteads on our route to Tsavo East Park.

It won’t be long before we come to the iconic gate of the great park and past that, the immense weathered plains of Tsavo stretching out to the horizon. These are the savannahs that hold rich numbers of lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, antelope, buffalo, and giraffes.

Now it’s time for our first big game drive and your guide is an expert at tracking and locating the park’s wildlife. We’ll see how many of Africa’s “Big Five” we can spot and also have the fun of seeing the smaller species that make this great park their home, animals such as kudu, impala, and topi.

Tsavo has other surprises waiting for you like hippos and crocodiles along its rivers and a bright collection of ostriches, buzzards, starlings, kingfishers, hornbills, herons, ibis, and even love birds.

We’ll enjoy lunch amongst the stirrings of all this wildlife and then take another game drive before turning our 4 x 4 Jeep back to the Kenya coast.

We’ll have you back at your hotel or resort by dinnertime with new tales to tell about the lions, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife you saw during your one-day beach getaway to Tsavo East National Park.
