A place with its own character

Why choose
Tsavo East?

Tsavo East National Park rewards travellers who enjoy space. Its open, semi-arid landscapes offer a striking contrast to the highlands and a natural safari connection with Kenya’s coast.

A focused Tsavo East stay has time for more than one wildlife circuit. Longer southern itineraries connect the two Tsavo parks, Amboseli and the coast.

Look a little closer

What makes
this place different.

Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.

Look for dust-red elephants

Elephants dust themselves in the local earth. Watch patiently from your vehicle and give herds plenty of room to move.

Read the river landscape

The Galana River and surrounding habitats add variety to the open plains. Choose circuits around your lodge and current access.

Slow down for birds and scenery

Combine wildlife searching with time to notice birds, rocky landmarks and the changing colour of the bush.

Good to know

Tsavo East and Tsavo West are separate parks. Combined itineraries record both destinations and their park-entry arrangements.

Choose a base that makes sense

Where you stay
shapes your safari.

Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.

A camp in the park

KWS lists Ashnil Aruba and Satao among Tsavo East accommodation options. Their park locations form part of the game-drive and transfer plan.

Near a gateway

A stay near Voi can suit some transfers. Check the gate journey and whether your quote includes each planned entry.

Safari and coast

Keep enough nights for wildlife before continuing to Diani or another coast base. Transfers and beach accommodation need separate confirmation.

Compare the whole trip.

The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.

A little planning goes a long way

When to visit

Fees and what is included

Entry fees follow the park or conservancy authority, visitor category, age, travel dates and activities. The safari quotation itemises the entries included in the itinerary.
