This road Safari explores the best Kenya Parks – Tsavo West National Park, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and the Tsavo East National Park – on an incredible African wildlife tour.
Travel by road on this small group Kenya Tour, staying at quality budget lodges. An amazing wildlife safari in Kenya, beginning and ending in Mombasa. The safari begins with a visit to the Tsavo West National Park, well known for its birdlife and large mammals, especially elephants and lions.
The park is also home to buffalo, rhinos and leopards, making it a Big Five safari destination. Other wildlife species include the bush baby, Maasai giraffe, hippo and numerous antelopes, such as hartebeest, lesser kudu, oryx and klipspringer.
Our next stop is Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary – a privately owned sanctuary, located in Taita-Taveta. It hosts cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, Maasai lion, Maasai giraffe, zebra, hartebeest, impala, waterbuck, Thomson’s gazelle, lesser kudu, dik-dik, and other smaller animals, as well as a great diversity of birdlife.
Lastly, we visit the Tsavo East National Park – renowned for its large herds of elephants, often dramatically coated in fine red dust. The population is over 10 000 elephants strong. Tsavo East is also notorious for its lions – the ‘man-eating’ lions of Tsavo, in particular.
In addition to its famous elephants and lions, Tsavo East is also home to the other members of the Big Five – leopard, buffalo and rhino. The black rhino population is monitored to protect these endangered mammals from poachers, but they are rarely spotted on game drives.
Tsavo East is also home to the endangered hirola antelopes. Tsavo also hosts a wide variety of other wild animals, from cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles to hippos, giraffes and Grevy’s zebra, along with species typical of northern Kenya, including gerenuk and Somali ostrich.
Over 500 bird species have been recorded in Tsavo East, including black kite, crowned crane, hornbill, lovebird, and sacred ibis.
