Package Overview
3 Day Tsavo East Safari Tour from Mombasa | Into the Wild Red Heart of Kenya
Looking to escape the city’s pulse and dive headfirst into raw wilderness? The 3 Day Tsavo East Safari Tour from Mombasa offers a fierce and fiery safari through one of Kenya’s oldest and largest parks. This is more than just a tour — it’s a full-sensory journey through red-dusted plains, wildlife-packed waterholes, and vast acacia-covered savannahs.
From the coast to the wild, in just three days — no time wasted.
Why Choose Tsavo East?
As one of the largest protected areas in Kenya, Tsavo East National Park is a haven for game lovers and adventure seekers. Here, you’ll encounter the iconic “Red Elephants of Tsavo”, lions that earned the name “man-eaters,” crocodile-filled rivers, and a bird count that blows most reserves away. Best of all, it’s just a few hours from Mombasa — perfect for travelers who want maximum wildlife without the long haul.
3-Day Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Mombasa to Tsavo East – Welcome to the Wild
Begin with an early morning pickup from your Mombasa hotel or resort. As you journey inland, the scenery transforms — coconut palms give way to dry savannah, and anticipation builds with every mile. Upon entering Tsavo East, dive straight into a game drive where you may spot elephants, zebras, and big cats. After lunch and some relaxation at the lodge, head back out for a sunset drive around Aruba Dam, a hotspot for wildlife in the golden hour.
Day 2: Full Day Exploration – Deep Into Tsavo
Rise with the sun and set out on a full-day safari. This is your chance to truly immerse yourself in the ecosystem. Your guide will navigate to Mudanda Rock and the Yatta Plateau, providing panoramic views and incredible wildlife activity. After a picnic or lodge lunch, the afternoon offers a slower-paced game drive or a break by the waterhole as animals come in to drink.
Day 3: Tsavo to Mombasa – One Last Roar
Before breakfast, take one final sunrise drive — the perfect moment for spotting predators in motion. Then, return to your lodge for breakfast before hitting the road back to Mombasa. You’ll arrive at the coast by mid-afternoon, just in time for a beachside lunch and stories worth retelling.
