4 Days Mombasa Safari Tsavo West Amboseli Tsavo East

Day 1: Mombasa – Drive to Tsavo East National Park

Our Safari leaves Mombasa and drives north towards the vast wilderness of Tsavo East National Park, Kenya’s oldest and largest Park.

Tsavo East National Park is 173 km northwest of Mombasa. Its relative closeness to the beaches and tourist attractions around Malindi and Mombasa makes it an ideal wildlife safari destination.

Tsavo East National Park is a natural area of flat, dry plains, with thorny bushes and swampy marshland near the river.

It is teeming with diverse Kenyan animals including large families of giraffes, gazelles, hartebeests, and zebras, as well as the “Big Five” must-see animals – buffalo, African elephants, lions, rhinos, and leopards.

After lunch, we spend the afternoon exploring the park where we can expect to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, kudu, zebra, and hartebeest.
