5-Day Tsavo West, Tsavo East & Mombasa Safari Adventure

The journey begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Tsavo West, where the rugged, volcanic landscapes welcome you into one of Kenya’s most stunning parks. Upon arrival, check in at your lodge and enjoy a delicious meal before heading out for an afternoon game drive. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and buffalo. A visit to Mzima Springs offers a unique opportunity to observe hippos and crocodiles from an underwater viewing chamber. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and a night under the African sky.

An early morning game drive presents a chance to witness predators on the hunt and the park’s spectacular landscapes in the soft morning light. After breakfast, the adventure continues with a transfer to Tsavo East, known for its vast open plains and famous red elephants. The game drive en route to the lodge reveals the park’s diverse wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, and cheetahs. After check-in and lunch, another game drive takes you to Aruba Dam, a popular watering hole where animals gather, and Mudanda Rock, a scenic viewpoint perfect for photography. The day ends with a hearty dinner and a peaceful overnight stay in Tsavo East.

The day begins with a final morning game drive in Tsavo East, a last chance to capture stunning wildlife moments before departing for the coast. The drive to Mombasa offers changing landscapes, transitioning from the arid savannahs to the lush, tropical vegetation near the coast. Upon arrival, check in at your beach resort and unwind by the ocean. The afternoon is at your leisure—relax by the pool, stroll along the sandy beaches, or explore Mombasa’s vibrant markets. Enjoy dinner while listening to the soothing waves of the Indian Ocean.

A full day by the coast presents endless possibilities. You may choose to spend the day relaxing at the beach, indulging in spa treatments, or exploring Mombasa’s cultural and natural attractions. For adventure seekers, a snorkeling or diving excursion at Kisite Marine Park offers breathtaking encounters with marine life. History lovers can visit Fort Jesus and Old Town for a journey through Mombasa’s Swahili heritage. Whether you prefer a laid-back beach day or an active exploration, this day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.

On the final day, take in the last moments of your beach escape with a morning walk along the shore or a visit to a local craft market. After check-out, begin the journey back to Nairobi, either by road, train, or flight. As the adventure comes to an end, take with you unforgettable memories of Tsavo’s wildlife, the thrill of safari drives, and the serene beauty of Kenya’s coastline.
