3-Day Tsavo National Park

Africa’s most accessible safari destination, Kenya is the only place in the world where you can go on safari right outside of the capital! Home to the world-famous Maasai Mara and Wildebeest Migration, Kenya is an ideal place for a family safari. Kenya’s relatively compact safari route makes it possible to experience much of what the country has to offer in a relatively short time, with safari packages ranging in length from day trips to five-day adventures to extended explorations. While the Mara certainly takes pride in place, other Kenyan parks will be just as exciting. For example, Amboseli Park in southern Kenya near the border with Tanzania is known for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the large population of elephants. Kenya’s largest national park, Tsavo, is known for its large herds of elephants and other animals such as lions, leopards, and buffalo. In central Kenya is the Aberdare National Park. It features dense forests and unique wildlife such as bongo antelope and black and white colobus monkeys. Kenya has many other national parks and reserves, each offering a unique experience. Whether you’re interested in wildlife, hiking, or just enjoying the natural beauty of Kenya, the country’s national parks have something for everyone.  
Your Trip

In a nut shell

Tsavo National Park is the largest park in Kenya. It is the closest to the Indian Ocean coast. Therefore, it is ideal for those who have chosen Mombasa as their destination.

Tsavo comprises two parts–western and eastern. The eastern side is more arid. Yellow grass, red earth, and prickly acacia trees are the landscape you see here. The west side is green and hilly. It's an amazing contrast when you cross the road and find yourself in a different universe.

The lodge where you will be staying in West Tsavo has a direct view of Kilimanjaro. On cloudless days, you will be lucky enough to get a good view of it.

Highlights:

  • Tsavo Safari – discover Kenya’s largest and wildest park.
  • Red Elephants – watch herds dusted in the park’s signature crimson soil.
  • Scenic Landscapes – lava fields, rolling hills, and endless open plains.
  • Mzima Springs – crystal waters alive with hippos and crocodiles.
