3 Days Tsavo East & Tsavo West Safari
Safari Highlights
Embark on an exciting 3-day safari adventure to two of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destinations: Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks. Together, these parks form one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, known for their dramatic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and unique geological features.
Tsavo East is renowned for its vast open plains, striking red elephants, and the scenic Galana River. It’s a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering opportunities to see lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and a variety of bird species. Tsavo West, on the other hand, offers a more rugged and varied terrain with rolling hills, volcanic rock formations, and lush springs. It is home to the famous Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles can be observed in their natural habitat. This safari provides a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
