Tour Plan

Meal : Lunch & Dinner.

We’ll be up early for a busy safari day, traveling along the Mombasa Nairobi Road.

Safari

We’ll arrive at Tsavo East mid-morning, with plenty of time for a game drive before lunch. On these broad plains, we’ll be looking for some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya. Don’t be surprised if these enormous creatures are reddish in color. That’s from rolling in the red-dust soil of the park.

You’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch and learn the finer points of game watching from your expert driver/guide. Any questions or concerns during your safari – just ask your guide. He’s always happy to help.

In the afternoon, as the park cools down and the animals emerge from their resting spots, looking to feed and drink, we’ll head out on another game drive. Look for antelope, zebra, and giraffe and of course, the big cats.

Meal : Breakfast & lunch

We’ll be up for a pre-breakfast game drive to watch the wildlife come awake and enjoy the early morning light over the sanctuary’s green hills.

After breakfast at our lodge, we’ll venture out for one more game drive in this compact but densely populated reserve. This will give us opportunities to view more of our favorite animals and perhaps to spot others for the first time.

Taking a last look at Taita Hills, we’ll depart the reserve with photos and memories of our safari adventure.
