3 Days Tsavo East & Tsavo West Safari

You depart early from your beach hotel in Watamu, Malindi, Mombasa, or Diani and head inland through rural countryside toward Tsavo East. On arrival you begin game viewing en route to your lodge or tented camp, with the afternoon dedicated to exploring the Galana River valley and wide-open plains where red elephants and zebra roam. After an evening meal at camp, enjoy the sounds of the bush and a starlit night.

Following an early breakfast and a morning game drive in Tsavo East, you leave the plains and drive toward the contrasting landscapes of Tsavo West. Here the land becomes rugged and volcanic, and you spend the afternoon visiting highlights such as the Shetani Lava Flow and the famous Mzima Springs with its underwater viewing chamber — perfect for spotting hippos and fish in clear waters. The change of scenery showcases Kenya’s geological diversity and supports different wildlife viewing opportunities.

On your final morning you take an early game drive through Tsavo West as dawn paints the hills, giving another chance to spot predators and grazing herbivores. After breakfast at the lodge you begin the scenic return drive to the coast, arriving in the afternoon ready to relax on the beach or continue your coastal holiday.
