Your Trip Itinerary

The journey begins with a drive southeast from Nairobi toward the open plains of Tsavo East. Upon arrival, the landscape shifts to the park’s famous red earth and scrubland. An afternoon game drive introduces the region’s wildlife as the heat of the day begins to fade. The evening is spent settling into the lodge atmosphere. Meals: Lunch and Dinner Accommodation: Ashnil Aruba or Voi Wildlife Lodge
The day is dedicated to discovering the hidden corners of the park. Morning and afternoon game drives focus on the large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo that frequent the water sources. The flat terrain allows for long-range views of the horizon under a bright sky. Midday is reserved for rest, allowing families to enjoy the lodge facilities before the evening activity.
