Traveller Reviews
“Tsavo East is one of the most visited parks in Kenya, thanks to those on short-haul safaris from Mombasa and the coast, but most restrict themselves to short excursions in the park’s south. To escape the crowds, I like to cross the savannah plains that extend north to the Galana River – lion sightings are possible”
“Hello Infinite Getaways, We really enjoyed our vacation. The Tsavo and Kilimanjaro safari was unbelievable. We did not expect that much!!! Our guide was very kind, and friendly. Thanks again for everything. I will definately recommend your team.”
