Tsavo East & West - "Luxury" Safari
Overview
This route is designed to offer a more exclusive and comfortable safari experience, focusing on premier lodges and unique activities like night game drives (where permitted in private conservancies) and spa treatments. Tsavo East and Tsavo West together form one of the world's largest national parks, but they offer distinct landscapes and wildlife experiences. Tsavo East is characterized by flat, open savannahs and semi-arid plains, while Tsavo West is more rugged, featuring volcanic hills, natural springs, and thick vegetation
