Why this trip
The earth in Tsavo is red, and so are the elephants that bathe in it: dust colours their skin until they look as if made of clay. Kenya's largest national park is a place for travellers who look for expanse and not crowds. For a lifelong wish of a safari that lies away from the most famous routes, Tsavo is an answer. In Tsavo West National Park springs flow from the rock, and the Lugard Falls are rapids that force the river through stone.
The Lumo Community Wildlife Conservancy shows how communities and conservation work together. The Salt Lick Safari Lodge and the Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa come into question as accommodation. July to October is the dry season, the animals come to the waterholes and are easier to see. Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are the neighbouring destinations in Kenya, and many combine Tsavo with Amboseli, where Kilimanjaro stands in the background.
The distances in the park are large, so you need time and a realistic division of the days. In the video call Once in a Lifetime discusses the programme with you and asks what you absolutely want to see.
