Day 02

Morning Game Drive and Transfer to Tsavo East

  • We will have a morning game drive in Kenya's largest park on our second safari day.

  • Here, you will also be amazed by the herds of red-dust elephants - rolling in the oxide soil and turning themselves a dusky shade of red.

  • Watch for large herds of giraffes and the Big Five among the grasslands and savannah.

  • Plus, down at the Galana River bisecting the park, you will find hippos, crocodiles, and waterbuck.

  • The park is also known for its outstanding geological formations.

  • Mudanda Rock, a natural dam, creates a watering hole where you will likely spot thirsty elephants.

  • You will never forget the Yatta Plateau, which has the most extended lava flow in the world at 300 km.
