At 7:30 am your driver guide will pick you up from your Nairobi area hotel, Nairobi airport, or Nairobi area residence and head out in our 4 x 4 Jeep for Tsavo East. We’ll take the Nairobi/Mombasa highway, stopping to stretch and get refreshments along the way. Entering Tsavo East, you’ll appreciate the vast stretches of land and sky before you. It’s time to set out on our first game drive. This is a rugged park with rusty-colored soil the big elephants like to roll in. They may even entertain you by marching with their proud, red-dusted coats. We’ll head to our accommodation for lunch and perhaps some relaxing time. Then, it’s back into the 4 x 4 and more tracking of giraffes, impalas, and of course, lions. As a final flourish to our first safari day, we’ll be treated to the first of several blazing African sunsets.
