8 Day Kenya Coast Safari

Package Overview

8 Day Kenya Coast Safari | Tsavo, Amboseli & Beach Bliss

Ready to ride the wind from the wild to the waves? The 8 Day Kenya Coast Safari is where untamed bush meets turquoise ocean. This route takes you through Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, and ends with barefoot luxury at Diani Beach or Watamu — a seamless blend of game drives, elephants, and Indian Ocean breeze.

From red elephants to white sands, this is coast-to-safari magic at its absolute finest.

Day 1: Mombasa / Diani – Tsavo East National Park

Begin your journey straight from Kenya’s tropical coast. Drive inland to Tsavo East, known for red elephants and the vast Yatta Plateau. Afternoon game drive en route to your camp/lodge.

Day 2: Full Day in Tsavo East – Red Elephant Safari

Rise with the sun for a full day of game viewing. Visit Aruba Dam, Lugard Falls, and the Galana River — hot zones for elephants, lions, zebras, and crocodiles.

Traveling on a tighter budget? Check our Kenya Budget Safaris for affordable coast-to-bush options.

Day 3: Tsavo East – Tsavo West National Park

Drive through wild terrain to Tsavo West, a rugged landscape of volcanic rock, lava flows, and Mzima Springs. Afternoon game drive with possible sightings of leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos.
