Located in the southeastern part of Kenya, Tsavo East National Park is renowned for its incredible landscape and wildlife, making it a must-visit destination.
If you have three days to spare, the park has a variety of fun activities for the whole family. Here are a few things to do during your trip.
A driver will pick you up from your hotel, or airport to start your day. The drive to the park takes a few hours but also offers an exciting opportunity to watch the sunrise on your trip to the grassland.
Once getting to Tsavo, the most popular way to see its attraction is by taking a game drive through the park. Tsavo East National Park is home to the Big Five, including lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos and Rhinos. Furthermore, the guided drive safari also allows for tracking other animals while learning about Tsavo’s conservation efforts.
After a long drive around one of the biggest wildlife parks in East Africa, you can enjoy a luxurious night under the star-filled skyline of the savannah. For visitors looking for an indoor experience, Tsavo has lodges with unique facilities to take advantage of. They include spas, swimming pools and restaurants.
You can start the second day with a lovely romantic hot air balloon safari. The aerial view of the vast grasslands gives you a new appreciation for its landscape. The safari will also allow you to see the sunrise over the park and take selfies and photos of the scenic landscape.
After your hot air balloon safari, get the chance to enjoy some of Tsavo East’s exquisite cuisines. The multiple restaurants offer local and exotic menus for a different palette experience as you wait for your night safari.
The best time to view wildlife in the park is early morning or late evening because they are the most active. A night safari is a great way to see nocturnal animals like civets, genets, and hyenas trying to grab a meal. After your night safari, you will return to your lodge or campsite.
On the last bit of your Tsavo East National Park tour, you will take a walking safari through guided bush trails. Walks through the grassland offer an exploration opportunity for bird watching and meeting some local communities living in the park. To promote the communities, you can also buy a few handcrafted souvenirs to commemorate the trip.
Once you leave the park, you will enjoy a drive back to your hotel or residence.
