Overview
Tsavo East National Park from Diani Beach sounds like an incredible adventure! Here’s a general outline of what you can expect:
Day 1: Departure and Game Drive
- Early Morning Departure: The safari usually begins early in the morning from Diani Beach. You'll be picked up from your hotel, and the drive to Tsavo East National Park takes around 4–5 hours, depending on road conditions.
- Arrival & Check-in: Once you arrive at the park, you'll check into a lodge or camp. Options in Tsavo East include Voi Safari Lodge, Sentrim Tsavo East, or even tented camps for a more immersive experience.
- Afternoon Game Drive: After settling in, you'll head out for your first game drive around 3:00 PM to spot wildlife. Tsavo East is home to the "Big Five" (lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos), as well as giraffes, zebras, and various bird species.
- Evening at the Lodge/Camp: After your game drive, you return to your accommodation to relax, enjoy dinner, and share your day's experiences.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Return to Diani Beach
- Morning Game Drive: Wake up early for a pre-breakfast game drive, often the best time to catch animals in action. You’ll explore more of the park, perhaps spotting predators like lions or cheetahs.
- Breakfast and Checkout: After the game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast before checking out.
- Drive Back to Diani: After breakfast, you’ll start the journey back to Diani Beach, arriving by late afternoon or early evening.
What You Can Expect in Tsavo East:
- Wildlife: Tsavo East is known for its large elephant herds, red elephants (because of the red soil they dust themselves with), and abundant wildlife.
- Landscape: The park is vast, with varied terrain, including savannahs, hills, and river systems.
- Climate: Expect hot, dry conditions, so pack light, breathable clothes and plenty of water.
