The park is really big and seeing animals really depends on your luck. I only saw one lioness, a few giraffes, elephants, zebras and some smaller animals. It's a long drive to make only to see such limited wildlife.”

Review of a Tsavo East safari from Mombasa, with elephants, lunch, guides, park fees, long drives, value, and practical booking advice.

“Ich hatte schon vor Monaten diesen Ausflug gebucht und von Anfang an war die Kommunikation sehr schlecht. Nach wiederholtem Nachfragen wurde mir der Ausflug per WhatsApp bestätigt und dass ich alleine fahren würde , da sonst niemand anderes gebucht hätte. Wenige Stunden später schreibt man mich mit einer anderen Nummer an und sagt mir , dass ich entweder stornieren oder 100€ drauf zahlen solle. Was ich dann gemacht habe ….. Im Nachhinein wäre stornieren die bessere Option gewesen. Hab mich aber so auf diesen Tag gefreut und eben draufgezahlt. Der Guide ist sehr schnell gefahren… was mir nicht gefallen hat : er war alleine und ist die gesamte Strecke gefahren.…”
