This is a brief tour that joins Tsavo west and Tsavo east national parks. These are two separate national parks in eastern Kenya, which were once combined as one park but are now separate, each offering unique wildlife experiences. The parks are famous for man eater lions and dust-red elephants, but also other mammals call it home, including zebras, buffaloes, rhino, leopards, waterbucks and other small species of antelopes.
Bird population is abundant here with over 500 bird species thriving in both parks. Various safari activities can be done including Cave exploration, Game viewing, fish watching, Underwater Hippo and caving at the Shetani caves.
