From experience, while on the 1 Day Tsavo East Safari/Day Trip it is common to come upon large families of giraffes, gazelles, hartebeests and zebras, as well as four (4) of the "Big Five" - buffalo, elephants, lions, and leopards. Tsavo East National Park, being flat with thorny bushes and swampy marshland near it's seasonal rivers makes it easy to see diverse animals and bird species.
This Tsavo East day trip starts early in the morning at dawn and ends at dusk. You will have about five to six hours of game drive looking for animals and birds while also enjoying the spectacular red colored landscapes of Tsavo East national park where the vast plains stretch to infinity.
