2 Days Tsavo East from the Coast
The shortest safari that is still worth doing from the beach
- Lodge

One night inland is enough to see Tsavo East properly — the red elephants, the Galana river, Lugard Falls and the Yatta plateau. You leave the coast after breakfast and are back on the beach by the following evening.
Trip highlights
- Tsavo's famously red-dusted elephants
- Aruba Dam, where game concentrates in the dry season
- Lugard Falls and the Galana river crocodiles
- The Yatta plateau, the longest lava flow in the world
- Pick-up from any hotel between Mombasa, Diani and Watamu
