Add a safari adventure to your Diani beach vacation. It’s only a 3-hour drive to Kenya’s largest reserve, Tsavo East National Park. There’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy amongst the rugged landscape here. Tsavo East is known for its lions, but there are also leopard, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, impala, zebra and over 500 species of birds in this renowned park.

In contrast to Tsavo’s vast stretches of savannah, Amboseli National Park promises a different safari experience. A smaller and open reserve, the park’s size makes it easier to spot game. Amboseli is known as the best place in the world to view free ranging elephants. It is also framed by the massive vista of Mt. Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest peak.

From your Diani Beach or south coast resort we will set out early, heading for Mombasa and then travel along the scenic Mombasa-Nairobi highway. In just about 3 hours you’ll get your first glimpse of Tsavo’s red clay soil at its southern gate.
