Tsavo National Parks, Kenya

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tsavo National Parks, split into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, together form one of the largest wildlife conservation areas in the world, covering over 20,000 square kilometres in southeastern Kenya. The parks are famous for their dramatic landscapes — from Tsavo East's open semi-arid plains and the Galana River to Tsavo West's volcanic hills, the Mzima Springs, and the Shetani lava fields. Tsavo is renowned for its large elephant herds, often coated in the region's distinctive red dust, as well as lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, and diverse birdlife. Travellers head here for classic Big Five game drives, walking safaris, and a wilder, less-crowded alternative to Kenya's more visited reserves like the Masai Mara.

Copycat

3-Day Tsavo East & West Self-Launched Safari from Nairobi

A self-launched version of the classic 3-day Tsavo East & West safari loop from Nairobi. Instead of a private guided 4x4 package, you'll join budget-friendly shared safari minibus departures or day-trip game drives booked direct with Nairobi operators and KWS park guides, stay in park-adjacent budget camps and bandas, and use the Nairobi–Mombasa highway (matatu/shuttle) or a hired seat in a safari van to reach the parks. You'll still hit the highlights: Shetani Lava Flow, Mzima Springs, Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, the Yatta Plateau, Lugard Falls and Mudanda Rock — at roughly a third of the package price. All costs are approximate and vary by season, park fees and group size.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Tsavo National Parks, Kenya yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
