Tsavo Express 2026

The trip was perfectly organized down to the smallest detail, with exceptional driver-guides and enchanting lodges. Yet it was mainly the constant enthusiasm and endearing warmth with which Ingrid guided the trip that made me return home with the most wonderful memories. Without a doubt a bull's eye! Truly incredible!...

This 8 day photo safari takes you to the exciting natures reserves of Tsavo.

Tsavo is split in two parts: Tsavo East and Tsavo West, which differ greatly in scenery, though both have intensely warm coloured red sand. Tsavo West has a stunning, volcanic landscape with dense vegetation, whereas Tsavo East is drier and more sparsely vegetated. The Tsavo and Galana Rivers offer refreshing sights of palm trees, and both Tsavos have a remote wilderness atmosphere, with much lower tourist densities than other parks in Kenya.

Both reserves are famous for their huge population of elephants, but there’s also a good possibility of seeing lion (Maneaters of Tsavo!), buffalo, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, leopard and hippo. Many more mammals and hundreds of bird varieties will be welcoming you.
