Tsavo Safari

This short but thrilling safari takes you to Kenya’s two iconic parks—Tsavo East National Park, famed for its endless plains and red-dusted elephants, and Tsavo West National Park, known for its dramatic landscapes, Mzima Springs, lava flows, and rich wildlife. Enjoy incredible game viewing, scenic drives, and the beauty of the African wilderness.

Safari Highlights

Tsavo East National Park
  • "Red" Elephants: The elephants here are famous for wallowing and dust-bathing in the rich red soil, giving them a distinctive crimson color.
  • Vast Open Wilderness: Experience the sheer scale of one of Kenya's oldest and largest parks, with its beautiful acacia woodlands and sweeping savannah.
Tsavo West National Park
  • Mzima Springs: Visit this magical oasis where crystal-clear water gushes from the ground. You can walk to an underwater viewing chamber to see hippos, fish, and crocodiles.
  • Volcanic Scenery: Explore the dramatic terrain, including the Shetani Lava Flows, a dark, solidified river of volcanic rock, offering a stark contrast to the plains.
