The experience also includes encounters with tree-dwelling species like monkeys, baboons, and galagos, which add to the dynamic natural environment. Transportation is provided in a customized safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for easy viewing, and the tour concludes with drop-off at your accommodation in Diani, Mombasa, Malindi, or Watamu.

aforementioned Yatta Plateau on the horizon

Spend the entire Morning spotting game in Tsavo's semi-arid to arid habitat, Fed by the confluence of Tsavo and Athi rivers, which go on to form Galan River.

Apart from its wildlife attractions, you will also get to see the aforementioned Yatta Plateau on the horizon which is billed as the world’s largest lava flow.

For Lunch Kindly Discuss/Request guide in advance, for Options or Suggestions that best suites you

After Lunch, Enjoy an Afternoon Game Drive as you appreciate Tsavo’s scenic views and the fact that it is a dry and unforgiving place where crowding into smaller spaces especially in the dry season for access to water and habitat is common. Making animals more susceptible to predators.

On the plus side, as the weaker and the diseased became easy picking, only the fittest and those who have the best genetic material, father the next generation.

Ensuring the species as a whole is more equipped to survive in this hardship.
