What's included in the EUR 699 price?

The tour includes three days of accommodation, meals, all game drives, park entry fees, and a guided nature walk at Mzima Springs. Confirm whether airport transfers, tips, and beverages are included when booking.

How much time do we actually spend on game drives?

Most of each day is dedicated to game drives across Tsavo East and West. Exact timing depends on your lodge location and daily itinerary, but expect 6–8 hours of driving combined with breaks and the Mzima Springs walk.

Are the Big Five guaranteed?

No. While Tsavo hosts lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, and rhinos, sightings depend on seasonal patterns and wildlife movement. Early morning/late afternoon drives and an experienced guide maximise your chances, but there are no guarantees in wild parks.

Is this suitable for young children or elderly guests?

Yes, the tour welcomes families with children and seniors, but confirm physical fitness for long vehicle days and rough terrain. Children under 5 may find extended drives tiring; discuss any mobility or health concerns with the operator beforehand.

What's the difference between Tsavo East and Tsavo West?

Tsavo East is flatter with red volcanic soil and vast plains ideal for spotting elephants and big herds. Tsavo West is more scenic with volcanic hills, escarpments, and Mzima Springs (underground hippo pools), offering diverse landscapes and birdlife.

How do we get from Mombasa to the safari parks?

The tour includes road transfers from Mombasa (approximately 4–5 hours each way). Transfers are typically by 4×4 safari vehicle or minibus; confirm the exact pickup location and timing with your accommodation or the tour operator.

our guide Yuki sorted everything for us and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight, and good as a half-day option, and spotted maybe 30 species.
