Published: 19.10.2022

Taking part in a safari https://www.brunosafaris.com/index.php/3-days-mombasa-safari-to-tsavo-east-and-tsavo-west is the dream of many and the safari to Tsavo East in Kenya is perhaps the safari par excellence in terms of quality/price ratio. And the right one to start.

Quite easy to rea, it has a ri and varied fauna atlower pricesthan those practiced, for exame, in Tanzania, Namibia and South Africa. It can therefore be an excellent solution also for families with ildren. Also because it is possible to oose theformula of one night and two days, whi can also be inserted within a single week spent at the sea, generally in Watamu (at 1h and 47) or Malindi (1h and 33). And this is another advantage of a Tsavo East safari: theproximity to a crystal clear seawhi will enri your stay. Among other things, for Watamu there are often tourist packages at a lower price than elsewhere. Even oosing the "do it yourself", flights to Kenya (Nairobi and Mombasa) generally cost less than those to Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana.

How to organize a safari to Tsavo East

Normally those who travel to Kenya do so with a tourist package because often booking flights and hotels independently costs mu more. Unless you an everything well in advance.

Even with a package tour, safaris and excursions can usually be booked on site. Availability is almost always there, unless you want to stay overnight in a specific lodge. Then it would be better to book well in advance.

You have three options for going on a safari:

• book it directly in the resort with the tour operator,
• rely on a specialized agency on site,
• rely on the many bea boys who will offer you all kinds of safaris and excursions by boarding you on the bea.

Surely the last option is the eapest one and can also be the one in greatest contact with the population, but personally I would advise against it. Hopefully it will be a wonderful experience and you will have saved money. But if any unforeseen event, more or less serious, should happen, you will not be safeguarded in any way. With the other solutions, insurance is almost always included and you will still have an organization with greater protection behind you.

I would advise against going on the safari yourself. There are very few signs in the park and it is not easy to find your way around. The guides also communicate with ea other via radios and exange sighting locations. It will be mu easier this way to see the rarest animals rather than wandering alone in an immense park without a guide. Obviously being alone is even more uncomfortable for any unexpected events you may have.
