Detailed itinerary
1
Upon entering the park, you will notice the limitless flat and dry earth, which will kick-start your adventure. You will spend the entire morning looking for wildlife in Tsavo’s semi-arid to arid habitat, fed by the confluence of the Tsavo and Athi River, forming the Galana River. Alongside the wildlife attractions, you will also see the Yatta Plateau on the horizon, billed as the world’s largest lava flow, followed by lunch at a hotel recommended by your driver. After lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive to appreciate Tsavo’s scenic views. Tsavo is known for being an unforgiving place where animals crowd into smaller spaces to access water and habitat, making them more susceptible to predators. Later, we will unwind from the game drives, exit the park, and proceed to coastal Beach, where you will be dropped off at your hotel.
