Day-by-Day Tsavo Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Kenya
We meet you at the airport and either rest you in Nairobi or start the road or rail toward Tsavo, depending on your flight time.
Day 2: Into Tsavo
Enter East or West as quoted. Red earth, baobabs, and space. Check in, then an afternoon drive while the light is still kind.
Day 3: Tsavo Wilderness
Full safari day: red elephants, open plains, and if you are in the West, volcanic hills and springs. The park is huge, so we do not rush it.
Final Day: Coast or Nairobi
Tsavo pairs naturally with Mombasa or Diani. We continue you to the beach or back to the city for your flight.
