TSAVO EAST · TSAVO WEST

Built specifically for travellers based at the coast who want a real safari without giving up a week of beach time to get it.

The route runs Tsavo East into Tsavo West over three tight days — Aruba Dam's wildlife gatherings, Mzima Springs' underwater viewing chamber, and a good shot at the Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary, all covered by road from Mombasa and back.

It's a lean itinerary by design: no wasted transfer days, full board throughout, and a private safari guide who knows exactly where to be at each stop.

Day by day

The route.

1

Tsavo East National Park — Ashnil Aruba Lodge

An early pick-up from your beach hotel, driving the Mombasa–Nairobi highway before entering Tsavo East through Buchuma Gate.

A first game drive heads toward Aruba Dam, where wildlife gathers to drink — elephants, zebra, buffalo, gazelle, giraffe, and waterbuck are all realistic sightings, alongside hornbills, kingfishers, eagles, storks, and marabou storks for birders.

After lunch and a rest at the lodge, an afternoon drive continues to Mudanda Rock, a well-known viewpoint for lion and cheetah sightings.

Tsavo West National Park — Severin Safari Camp

After breakfast, on to Tsavo West and Mzima Springs — crystal-clear water, hippos, and crocodiles, with a guided ranger walk and an underwater viewing chamber for a close look.

A scenic game drive continues to camp in time for lunch, with Mount Kilimanjaro visible on a clear day. The afternoon drive covers savannah plains, acacia forest, and volcanic hills, with a stop at the Rhino Sanctuary for rhino, elephant, giraffe, lion, and leopard.
