Many guests fall asleep to the distant calls of wildlife, gathered around the communal fire pit.
Witness Tsavo West’s volcanic outcrops, dense miombo woodland, and legendary Mzima Springs, home to hippos and crocodiles. The park is a sanctuary for rhinos, buffalos, lions, leopards, and a richly varied avifauna.

Begin your adventure with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Diani Beach, Mombasa or North Coast
You will then set off in the direction of Tsavo. After a 230 km, approximately 3 to 4 hours away. Drive through Mombasa and on the main road towards Nairobi, you will enter the Taita Hills Conservation Area (located on the edge of Tsavo West), which is particularly impressive due to its breathtaking and rugged landscape.
Immerse yourself in Kenya’s raw and untamed wilderness on this exclusive 3-day private safari, combining the majestic landscapes of Tsavo East and West. Enjoy unmatched intimacy with nature as you travel in your own private 4×4 safari jeep—no shared vehicles, no compromises.
Begin in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya’s oldest and one of its largest reserves. Here, vast savannas dotted with baobab trees stretch into the horizon. Watch herds of “red” elephants roll in iron-rich soil, observe prides of lions resting in the shade, and admire giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and over 600 bird species soaring above the open plains.
Relax at Ashnil Aruba Lodge, overlooking the tranquil Aruba Dam. With spacious rooms and luxury tented suites, the lodge offers a peaceful retreat with modern comfort, poolside relaxation, and panoramic wildlife views directly from the terrace or lounge.
Continue your journey into the contrasting landscapes of Tsavo West, where volcanic rock formations and lush greenery offer a dramatic backdrop. Nestled by the Sante River near the Tanzanian border, Voyager Ziwani Camp awaits. This riverside haven features large canvas tents with private verandas, where you can wake up to the calls of hippos, crocs, and grazing elephants.
The camp’s eco-conscious approach, solar energy, and riverside charm create one of Kenya’s most serene safari stays—ideal for couples, solo travelers, and families. Enjoy guided nature walks, stargazing by the fire, and immersive wildlife moments from dawn to dusk.
This experience isn’t just a trip—it’s a deeply personal encounter with the soul of Africa.
