/in /by

Explore the dramatic landscapes and untamed beauty of Tsavo West National Park, one of Kenya’s most iconic safari destinations. From volcanic hills and lava flows to lush springs and wide-open plains, Tsavo West offers a truly diverse and immersive wildlife experience. Home to the famous red elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, and hundreds of bird species, the park blends natural wonder with rich ecological history. Whether you’re gliding over the savannah in a hot air balloon or tracking big game on guided drives, this 3-day safari promises unforgettable moments in one of Africa’s most stunning wilderness areas.

DAY 1: NAIROBI TO TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK

Your safari adventure begins with a scenic afternoon flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to Kilaguni Airstrip, located in the heart of Tsavo West National Park. Upon landing, you’ll be warmly received by your guide and transferred to your safari lodge for check-in, refreshment, and relaxation.

Later in the day, embark on your first evening game drive across Tsavo West National Park’s iconic terrain. As the sun begins to set, wildlife becomes more active providing excellent opportunities to spot lions, giraffes, zebras, and the famous red-dusted elephants that roam freely in the park’s rugged landscapes. The warm golden light adds drama to the volcanic hills and open savannahs. Return to the lodge after dark for a delicious dinner and overnight stay, surrounded by the natural sounds of the wild.

DAY 2: FULL DAY IN TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK

Wake up early for an unforgettable hot air balloon safari over Tsavo West National Park (optional, at an extra cost). As you float silently over the vast plains, enjoy panoramic views of lava flows, the Chyulu Hills, and even Mount Kilimanjaro on clear mornings. From the air, spot large herds of elephants, buffalo, antelopes, and possibly predators like lions or leopards in motion.

After landing, enjoy light refreshments before heading out on a mid-morning game drive. Your guide will take you to key attractions such as Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles thrive in crystal clear waters, and Shetani Lava Flow, a striking black lava field that tells the park’s volcanic story.

Return to your lodge for lunch and a short siesta. In the late afternoon, head out again for a sunset game drive. With its varied terrain from riverine forests to rolling hills Tsavo West National Park offers a unique game viewing experience, with every turn revealing a new scene or species. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

DAY 3: TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK TO NAIROBI

Enjoy an early morning game drive through Tsavo West National Park, offering one last chance to soak in the park’s natural beauty and wildlife as the bush comes to life. After breakfast at the lodge, take time to relax and reflect on your experience.

Later, you’ll be transferred back to Kilaguni Airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Upon arrival, your safari driver will meet you for a transfer to your hotel, concluding your memorable journey through one of Kenya’s most scenic and wildlife-rich national parks.
