Why Choose This Tsavo East Day Trip

Tsavo East is the closest big game park to the coast, which makes it the easiest way to fit a full safari day into a beach holiday. You’ll be picked up early, spend the day on game drives across red dust plains known for large elephant herds, and be back at your hotel by evening. No overnight stay needed.

We pick you up before dawn directly from your hotel lobby, getting you to the park gates right as the sun comes up and the animals are most active. You will enjoy a full morning of private game viewing, a hot lunch overlooking the park, and an afternoon drive before heading back to the beach.
