What wildlife can I expect to see in Tsavo West?

Elephants, buffalo, and plains game are regularly spotted at the lodge waterhole and during game drives. The park is also home to lions, leopards, giraffes, and diverse bird species. Sightings vary by season and location within the park.

Is the 3-day itinerary enough time to see Tsavo West?

Yes—you'll complete two game drives per day (morning and evening) across the park's key zones, including the Shetani Lava Flow and Lion Rock. This allows meaningful wildlife encounters and scenic coverage while maintaining comfort at your lodge.

What's included in the EUR 1868 price?

The price covers accommodation at the luxury lodge, all meals, twice-daily guided game drives, roundtrip transport from Mombasa, and the bush breakfast experience at Lion Rock. Confirm whether park entrance fees and tips are included at booking.

Do I need a visa and vaccinations for Kenya?

Visa requirements depend on your nationality (most nationals require an eVisa for Kenya). Yellow fever vaccination is strongly recommended, and malaria prophylaxis is advised for Tsavo West. Consult your travel clinic and your country's embassy before travelling.

What should I pack for the tour?

Bring neutral-coloured, lightweight clothing (long sleeves and trousers for sun and insect protection), a warm layer for early mornings, sturdy walking shoes, sunscreen, binoculars, and a camera. The lodge provides modern amenities, so toiletries aren't essential to pack.

Can I extend my stay or combine this with other parks?

Contact the operator directly to discuss custom itineraries. The lodge's location near Mombasa makes it possible to combine Tsavo West with coastal relaxation or other Kenyan parks, though this would require separate arrangements.

our guide Samir sorted everything for us and two rhinos by the waterhole was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and we saw 4 of the big five in one day, and went last tuesday. Would book again no question.
