Tsavo Safari

Game Drive and Africa’s “Big 5” Traverse Kenya’s largest national park during a game safari in search of members of Africa’s “Big 5.” Journey inland to Tsavo East National Park, part of a vast park system covering more than 8,000 square miles. This region was made famous by JH Patterson’s book, The Man-eaters of Tsavo , which was the basis for the movie, The Ghost and the Darkness . After a drive by motor coach, climb aboard a 4x4 vehicle and set out on a game drive into the arid savanna grassland, keeping watch for Tsavo’s infamous lions, as well as leopards, cheetahs, zebras, striped hyenas, buffalos, elephants and more. Visit the Aruba dam, a popular manmade watering hole for game and one of the best places to view and photograph the park’s resident wildlife. Return to the lodge for lunch, then set out on a short afternoon game drive before returning to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
