8.1 Day Tsavo East Safari ( Minimum 2 Pax)

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · from $250

Review of the one-day Tsavo East safari from Diani, with park drives, lunch, transport, costs, timing, strengths, and drawbacks.

“Basically it was not a "tour" but a taxi ride to the park and back. I didn't expect 8 hours of tour guide commentary but other than pointing out the names of animals, (zebra, elephant, etc.) there was no discussion of the park history, wildlife management, animal characteristics, or of Kenyan history or culture. So it was essentially a very expensive taxi ride.”

“It is very difficult for me to give a bad reference. But it is important for other people to have more points of view. Let's start from positive points: 1) the driver who picked me up was great. Even if I was some minutes late he acted in a nice way. THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDNT ASK FOR MONEY 2) the sand island in front of Funzi very beautiful. 3) the visit at the school. Negative Points: 1) Exhausting stay in the boat. Hours and hours of sailing. And extremely slowly. I can understand during the search of crocodiles but please not when finally we had to go back to…”
