Tsavo East Day Trip from Mombasa or Diani

2 days, 1 night · From USD 441 per person · Mid-range
The 2-day Tsavo East safari from Mombasa adds an overnight in the park to the day trip, so you get a sunset drive, a sunrise drive and a night in a safari lodge, all with less rushing than doing it in one day.
Morning pickup, drive to Tsavo East, game drive en route to the lodge, lunch and an evening game drive.
Sunrise game drive, breakfast, a final drive towards the gate, and return to your coast hotel by late afternoon.
June–October and January–March.
Yes, if you can spare the night. Early morning and late afternoon are when predators are most active, and a day trip spends those hours on the road.
