Tsavo National Park Tours & Trips
Picture Kenya's largest park—actually two parks (Tsavo East and West) combined. Tsavo's massive, offering a genuine wilderness feeling. You're seeing red elephants covered in dust, lions, and rhinos at sanctuaries. The landscape's more arid than Masai Mara, vegetation's thicker, and wildlife viewing requires more patience. It's raw Africa—vast, wild, and truly breathtaking.

A very moving experience! Watching wildlife from such close quarters in the midst of nature, and with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safari's excellent management - it all felt like a movie. The punctuality friendly demeanor, and knowledge of the guide make our entire trip unique. This experience is not easily forgotten.

I booked rather last minute as a solo traveler - Gracepatt came through and exceeded my expectations. Communication was easy. Accommodations were great- I literally watched elephants bathe from my bedroom window! Simon was an excellent guide - pointing out every bird and animal, then patiently letting me snap my pics. And I got beautiful ones from Amboseli’s snow cap to a rare chance to see a black rhino checking his reflection. A moderately priced trip, a priceless excursion. Thanks, Simon!
