Before sun even rises you are taken from your hotel for a drive along the Mombasa-Nairobi highway. The highway follows very closely the rail line to Nairobi. There is a lot of history in this area, and you will just go flying by it for 140 Kilometers. Tsavo East National Park will be entered via the Bachuma Gate. This will start your game viewing, for wildlife is abundant in the park. Lunch will be at Voi Safari Lodge. After lunch you will return to your game viewing. Wildlife in the park include the "red" elephants, lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras and many other plains animals. When you finish your game viewing in the afternoon you will be returned to your hotel in Mombasa in the early evening. For a quick view of African wildlife this is the one to go on. Plenty of photo opportunities, good food, and excellent guides. Well worth the time, when you don't have much time.
