1 DAY TSAVO EAST

Overview

A 1 Day Tsavo East safari is a full day trip that starts early in the morning at dawn and ends at dusk. This is a short safari where you will have about five to six hours on game drives looking for animals and birds while also enjoying the spectacular red colored landscapes of Tsavo East National Park. The largest park in Kenya and one of the most established, Tsavo East is renowned for its wild and rugged charm, plus its abundance of mammals and birdlife. Here you may spot unique species like the red-dust elephants who like to roll in the red-oxide soil of Tsavo.

Your safari day begins before dawn so you can take in the African sunrise en route and enjoy plenty of game-viewing time in the park. Tsavo East is an uncrowded reserve which means you’ll leave the hordes of tourists behind as you take in the park’s many wonders.

A Park Packed with Wildlife

There are hundreds of species of wildlife here but perhaps the most famous is the Tsavo lion. Many of the males lack characteristic manes but don’t be fooled – these big cats have a famous reputation as hunters. You’ll also be on the lookout for leopard, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, duiker, impala, baboon and many other mammals. And over 500 species of birdlife including ostrich, buzzards and herons. This busy day is a dawn to dusk safari experience so come prepared to see, discover and marvel at all that Tsavo has to offer.
