Your beach tour to the old town of Mombasa is not complete without taking a day out to Tsavo national park. Tsavo national park is divided into west and east national parks. Tour to either of the two tour parks is the best decision to make, whether on a short or long coastal holiday.Tsavo National Park is the largest park in Kenya and consists of two separate parks, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Altogether, Tsavo measures 21,000 square kilometers. The park is located between the cities of Mombasa and Nairobi and straddles the highway used to travel from one to the other. Tsavo National Park is known for its abundance of wildlife as well as a variety of geological features such as Mudanda Rock and Lugard Falls. Because Mudanda Rock towers over a natural dam, it is a good place to see elephants and other park inhabitants in the dry season. Other important features include the Yatta Plateau and the Aruba Dam.

Says its $132 per adult...for the trip. " depending on group size "...this is very misleading and fake...no matter how many adults you enter it NEVER calculates at 132 usd per adult. cost me $265 for my trip for one day. Fake advertising.
I had an absolutely incredible safari experience today! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and I will be left with unforgettable memories. The landscapes were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to observe many animals in their natural habitat, which made the experience even more magical. Every moment of the safari was exciting and full of discoveries. A huge thank you as well to my guide, Nicolas, who was exceptional throughout the day. Very professional, passionate, and always attentive, he shared his knowledge with great enthusiasm and truly made the experience even more enriching. His kindness and positive energy really made a difference. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy a unique moment in the heart of nature!

I had the pleasure of having Geoffrey as a driver and guide to the Tsavo East national park. He was very prompt and courteous. He was able to answer all of the many questions we had. He was attentive to all of our needs as well as knowledgeable on all of the different animal species that we were able to see.We spent all of 11 hours with Geoffrey and we enjoyed every minute of it and would not hesitate to book another excursion with this company and Geoffrey. Kudos to your professionalism!

Our small group day trip to Tsavo National Park was nothing short of magical! From the moment we were picked up early in the morning, the guide was warm, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. The drive into the park was scenic, and we were lucky enough to spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a pride of lions within the first few hours! The guide shared fascinating facts about the park’s history, wildlife, and conservation efforts, which made the journey even more enriching. Lunch was delicious and set in a spot with beautiful views of the savannah. The vehicle was comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the views and take photos. By the end of the day, I felt like I’d experienced a true African safari – thrilling, peaceful, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to see the best of Tsavo in a single day!
unfortunately i could not recommend this safari. The guide did his best but organisation was hideous . Picked up at our hotel at 4am , then in a lorry lay-by for an hour waiting for two other guests who were not provided with the correct pick up time . Told we could ‘ sleep ‘ in the van whilst waiting for the other guests …… return journey even worse …… van was hot and uncomfortable . Would have been useful to also have an indication of what the day would like - but none . I messaged the company before recording this review but to date no response .
All was well. Getting to the park was an adventure but it was a delight once there. The encounters with elephant and other creatures more than made up for not seeing lion or giraffe. Stephen was friendly, knowledgeable, an amazingly capable driver, and a fine guide and game spotter. We didn't have spare cash for the stop at the massai village and weren't interested anyway. Let visitors know in advance if this is going to be an option.
Dear valued guest, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you had a delightful experience at Tsavo National Park and that Stephen’s expertise, friendliness, and game-spotting skills made your trip enjoyable. While sightings vary, we’re pleased that the encounters with elephants and other wildlife made your visit worthwhile. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the Maasai village stop, and we will ensure that future guests are informed in advance about this optional experience. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
