Safari: A Journey into the Wild

Safari through Tsavo’s red elephants, wildlife, and volcanic wonders.

Venture into the legendary Tsavo East and West National Parks, a vast wilderness teeming with life and famous for its iconic "Red Elephants." While all elephants are naturally the same color, the ones in Tsavo East have a unique, rust-red appearance from dusting themselves with the park's fine, volcanic soil. This striking sight is just the beginning of your adventure.

We partner with experienced guides who will lead you on game drives—available as half-day or full-day safaris—where you'll encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including:

  • The Big Five: Look out for lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo as they roam the plains.
  • Unique Species: Spot graceful giraffes, herds of zebra, and various antelope species.
  • The Galana River: A lifeline for the park, offering a chance to see hippos and crocodiles.

Beyond the wildlife, Tsavo’s unique landscape is a spectacle in itself. Highlights include the magnificent Mudanda Rock, a massive inselberg offering panoramic views, and the dramatic Shetani Lava Flow and Caves, a testament to the region's volcanic past. For bird enthusiasts, Tsavo boasts over 600 recorded bird species, making it a true birder's paradise.
