Early morning pick up from your beach hotel for a 3hrs drive to the Tsavo East National Park. This is the largest National park in Kenya covering 20807 km2. The Eastern part of the park covers 13747 km2 and is home to the famous Red Elephants. They derive their name from the color of their skin which is as a result of the red soil of the park that they wash themselves with and eventually turn red. Arrival at the Buchuma gate around 0900hrs and begin the game drive straight away. The drive will take you to Aruba Dam where most of the animals converge to quench their thirst. In Tsavo East you are sure of seeing variety of animal species and bird life. The animals likely to see are lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, giraffes, antelopes, hyenas, warthogs, buffaloes, cheetahs among others. The bird species likely to view are eagles, hawks, weavers, secretary birds among others. Proceed with the game drive to lunch time and head to a lodge within the park for your sumptuous lunch in a restaurant overlooking a water hole and the plains of Tsavo spotted with wild animals. After lunch proceed for the afternoon game drive on your way out of the park. Leave the park at around 1500hrs for your return trip to your Beach hotel.

Back at the hotel at around 1800hrs.

Places You’ll See :

Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley Soda lakes at an elevation of 1745m above sea level. The lake lies to the South of Nakuru town in Kenya’s Rift Valley, and is protected by Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is among Kenya’s finest national Parks. Flanked by rocky escarpments, pockets of forests and at least one waterfall, the park is pretty year – round.  You can also expect to see both black and white rhinos, look past the hordes of horny baboons and see hippos or perhaps a lucky leopard. There are also about 50 rare tree-climbing lions in the park spotted several times in a week. The usual zebras, buffaloes, and Rothschild’s giraffes seal the deal. The forested area below the Flamingo Hill is a favorite lion spotting point. You should look up here, not down as you are used to in other parks –lionesses love to sleep in these trees. Leopards frequent the same area. The caves beneath Lion Hill in the park’s northeast once served as a defacto lion cub nursery. These days they are more commonly frequented by snakes, Pythons lurk in the cool forested areas early in the morning. The lake’s abundance of algae attracts the vast quantity of flamingoes that famously line the shore. Other birds also flourish in the area, as do warthogs, baboons and other large mammals. Eastern black rhinos and southern white rhinos have also been introduced.
