2 Day Safari Tour from Diani Beach to Tsavo East & Taita Hills

Tour Gallery

Tour Overview

  • Put some variety in your Kenya coast holiday – leave the surf for some serious land-based wildlife exploration. Tsavo East National Park is big, rugged, and filled with large game like lions, leopards, and elephants on its red dusty plains.
  • Nearby Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary contrasts with its green rolling hills and compact space. But the wildlife viewing is just as active here as the larger park – you’ll be looking for the big cats, plus elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, gazelle, impala, over 300 species of birds, and more.
  • This two-day getaway is a perfect Diani Beach safari – close enough to jump right into the safari action, with a rich variety of landscapes and wildlife. And then we’ll get you back to your beach resort in time for drinks and dinner.

Day By Day Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Diani Beach – Tsavo East National Park (3 Hour Drive)

    7:00 am – We’ll start early to pack in lots of safari action on our first day. Your driver/guide will swing by to start the tour. Hop into your private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep to begin your adventure along the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway.

    Along our route, we’ll be treated to the splendor of an African sunrise breaking over the passing fields. In about three hours we’ll arrive at Tsavo East National Park, home to the legendary Tsavo lions and herds of red-dusted elephants.

    Kenya’s largest park stretches out to the horizon and we’ll head over to the most active watering holes for some rich wildlife sighting. The Aruba Dam and Kanderi marshes attract great numbers of thirsty wildlife so we should spot a good variety of game. Look for eland, hartebeest, mongoose, duiker, as well as the larger species.

    We’ll enjoy lunch and then journey over to Taita Hills for more game viewing. As mentioned, the green rolling hills here are in complete contrast with Tsavo’s red dusty plains but the wildlife viewing is just as active. Sightings of elephants and even lions are not uncommon.

    You’ll spend the evening either at the Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa or the Salt Lick Safari Lodge.

    • Accommodation at camp/lodge

  • Day 2 : Taita Hills – Diani Beach (3 Hour Drive)

    Then we’ll head back to our accommodation for breakfast, sharing tales of our safari sightings.

    Another game drive will round out the morning at this special reserve before we head back to the coast.

    We’ll stop for lunch on our way and arrive at the coast and Diani in the late afternoon/early evening.
