Your coastal trip to the historic city of Mombasa isn’t fully realized until you spend a day at Tsavo national park. The park is split into Tsavo West and Tsavo East. It’s an excellent choice to visit either park, making your short or long vacation even more memorable. Tsavo National Park holds the title for being the biggest park in Kenya, spread across 21,000 square kilometers. It’s strategically situated between Mombasa and Nairobi, straddling the main highway. Tsavo is popular for its diverse wildlife and interesting geological features like Mudanda Rock and Lugard Falls. In the dry season, Mudanda Rock provides an ideal vantage point for viewing elephants and other wildlife due to its height over a natural dam. Additional features of note include the Yatta Plateau and the Aruba Dam.

Tsavo East Safari - 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!

Unforgettable Tsavo Adventure – A Perfect Day in the Wild! - 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!

This is an absolute must do safari when visiting Mombasa - An awesome experience that will stay with you forever. Stevie our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the Park and the animals. He did his best to find where all the animals were located by constantly being in touch with other guides. Lions were the highlight but also so many other fantastic memories were made that day!

Arduous but worth it to see the wildlife - The drive to and from the park is not for the faint hearted. It took us 16.5 hours there and back but we are in Kilifi.
The drive through Mombasa on the way back was horrendous, with poor roads and gridlocked traffic.
Enough of the negatives.
The experience in the park was unforgettable.
I have never seen so many herds of elephant and lone bulls. The park is vast and so you just have to be patient and hope the animals want to be seen.
The elephants crossed our path and later we found a herd drinking and having a good scratch by the side of the road.
It was just a wonderful experience that I will never forget and puts the horrendous journey in the back of my mind.
We also saw ostrich, giraffe close up, zebra, eagles, buffalo and impala/antelope.
No lions but it was hot in the afternoon when we had our best animal encounters and as they sleep nearly all day, would be hard to spot.
Lunch was delicious at Sentrim camp and reasonable in price.
I wanted to do the one day trip because we have another 2 day safari in a few days but it just gives a break from being by the beach.
I would say that on these long journeys there should be 2 members of staff to drive. Peter our guide was amazing but was falling asleep at the wheel and that is dangerous for him and us.
He left us in Kilifi at 9:30pm after a 5 am pick up and we feared for his safety heading back to Mombasa.

A fine day in Tsavo - 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.

- 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 .
