Tsavo Wildlife Safari: Tsavo in Kenya is one of the renowned wild parks inhabited by the big 5 animals. The park became popular after the stories of Tsavo lions “the man eaters” that were extra strong as compared to other lions in other national parks. Travelers since then flocked to both national parks in this region to have a glance at hundreds of animal species.
This safari will therefore provide the visitor with chances to view the animals during exciting game drives that will be conducted in the National Park. The addition of the knowledge of a local tour guide will ensure that the experiences are worth every penny.
