Tsavo East National Park (Kenya)

... The loose plan we had made was to spend a week in Malindi, on the beach, wandering around the town, followed by a 3 or 4 day safari at Tsavo, a couple of days back in Malindi and then home. There is a saying about best laid plans, isn't there? The beach turned out to be a complete no-go ... Read review

Worth the hassle

Advantages: wildlife, scenery, people, game parks, safari
Disadvantages: danger of robbery and violence, beaches, hassle

...drive through the gates of Tsavo National Park. Thrilling to see my first zebra, antelope and warthog that wasn't on the television or in a zoo; this was wildlife up close and personal and wild. But of course, we all wanted to see the big, dangerous sexy ones. The advantage in visiting during the dry season is that the guide - in our case, Peter - has a pretty good idea of where to find the animals, since water supply is restricted to a few waterholes ...
...As we drove out of Tsavo for the last time, a battered old lion, who sported but half a tail, ambled along the dirt road in front of us for ten minutes or so, then, having done his escort duty, peeled off into the grass leaving us to the long drive back to Malindi.

A day later, emboldened with vodka, we decided to risk a walk into Malindi. One of the local lads sprang to his feet as we left the hotel. I explained that we didn't want ... more

Safari sa-good-i

Advantages: Loads of animals
Disadvantages: Hotels

Tsavo East (joined with West) is the largest safari park in Kenya. It is where they film big cat diaries for the BBC and unlike the more famous Masai Mara is easily accessible by road - it is 2 hours drive from Mombasa. If you are staying in Mombasa the Masai Mara is easiest to get to by flying (in a rickety looking old plane!) The safari experience: If you book through a travel agent or rep it is likely your party will be organised through Sonak ...
...morning and driven to the Tsavo east gates. The vehicle is like a campervan with 6 passenger seats and a detachable roof so you can stand up and have a look. The roads are very dusty so don't wear anything white and they are also seriously bumpy! If you have big boobs you would probably be best taking a couple of good sports bras. After a few hours I am sure I lost the ability to have children thanks to being thrown into my seat about 5 times! It ...

tsavo

Advantages: cheaper, better accomodation
Disadvantages:

Tsavo east national park is the ideal place to experience the magic of african wildlife! whilst staying in kenya on honeymoon, we decided to take a saafari trip and chose Tsavo east primarily because of its position in relation to our hotel on diani beach. Tsavo east is not as large as the more well-known Masai mara reserve. there is every species on offer with the exception of flamingos. i would recommend buying your safari locally as opposed ...
...for a couple compared with others who booked at home.You also get the choice of which lodge you stay in as opposed to a tour company appointed one.Particularly recommende is the Voi Safari Lodge which is 5 star luxury compared to the 3 star accomadation others on our trip payed more for! enjoy africa, it's a beautiful country! ...

Destination of Dreams

Advantages: Amazing wildlife and the most breath-taking scenery I have ever laid eyes on
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage I can think of is having to travel up the Mombasa/Nairobi road - an adventure in itself

...the three day safari in Tsavo East, travelling along the infamous Mombasa/Nairobi road which bears an uncanny resemblence to the Grand Canyon (no more complaining about British roads!!). Upon entry to the park we were greeted by a herd of Giraffe, one of which decided he fancied a much closer look at us and promptly put his head into the truck! I really could talk about our experience for hours (friends and family will testify) but the best advice ...

Tsavo East National Park ( Kenya )

Advantages: My husband and I went on a tour of Kenya. It was based at Sun 'n 'Sand which was equisite, with palm trees and monkeys screaming through the trees.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage was the bumpy roads.

My husband and I went twice to Kenya, the first time the safari's were only for two nights, but the scenery was spectacular, it was barren and you could see lions hippopotomus,giraffes and elephants, there were ostrich and she must have been a mother as there were little ones running beside her. there was wild boar with frightening horns, there were teripins mounds all in red sandy clay. We had travelled with Kuoni as my poor hubby was made redundant. ...
...on the plane it's self was a dream. when we arrived at the airport in Mombasa we were taken to our base hotel. That was the start of the bumpy roads, but it was worth it when we arrived the complex was marble flooring and there were five pools,you could sit at your balcony and watch the Indian oceon very close by, the sand was soft but there were beach boys and they would try to sell you anything, they would even swap an old pair of shoes for something ...
