Detailed Itinerary1 Day Tsavo East National Park Safari/Day Trip Itinerary
Begin the day trip from Mombasa (Kenya’s Coastal City) very early in the morning with a drive to Tsavo East National Park. After completing park entry formalities at the Bachuma Gate, enter the park and embark on game viewing looking out for elephants, lions, zebras, cheetah, antelopes, giraffes, buffaloes etc. We will visit the Aruba Dam – a man made dam in the Southern plains of Tsavo East national Park on the seasonal Voi River. The dam serves as a valuable water source for big game and bird species especially in dry seasons. Lunch will be served at Voi Safari Lodge which is set up on a cliff-faced hill and whose restaurant overlooks the vast plains of Tsavo East National Park plains extending as far as the undulating terrain of the Yatta plateau. The plateau, at 290 km and rising to about 100m in height, is the World’s longest lava flow.
After lunch we will enjoy another game drive in search of more animals/birds. As we scan the great blue skies we may see the mighty raptors of the Savannah such as the martial eagle, bateleur eagles, white-backed vultures and lappet-faced vultures.
