Where Red Elephants Roam and Volcanic Wonders Unfold combining the best of both sides of Kenya largest and most historic wilderness
Safari Overview
This 3-day safari takes you through the vast, contrasting terrains of Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks—collectively covering over 22,000 square kilometers, making it one of Africa’s largest wildlife ecosystems.
Start in the semi-arid savannahs of Tsavo East, famous for its “red elephants,” open landscapes, and endless horizons. Then cross over to Tsavo West, a more dramatic, hilly, and volcanic terrain featuring lush springs, lava flows, and the magical Mzima Springs—home to hippos and crocodiles viewed through an underwater glass observatory.
This safari is perfect for nature lovers who crave variety, scenic beauty, and rich wildlife experiences.
