Tsavo East and West Safaris

Venture into Kenya’s wild, untamed heart with our Tsavo East and West safaris.
Covering over 22,000 square kilometers, Tsavo is one of Africa’s largest and most diverse protected areas — a place of vast savannahs, volcanic landscapes, ancient baobab trees, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Wildbud Safaris invites you to experience the rugged beauty and legendary wilderness of Tsavo.

Why Choose a Tsavo Safari?

Tsavo East and Tsavo West offer a safari experience that’s raw, authentic, and less crowded than the Masai Mara or Amboseli.
Here’s why Tsavo stands out:

Iconic Red Elephants: Herds of elephants dusted in Tsavo’s distinctive red soil.

Stunning Landscapes: Lava fields, rolling hills, natural springs, and open plains.

Diverse Wildlife: Lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 bird species.

Natural Wonders: Visit Mzima Springs, Shetani Lava Flows, and Lugard Falls.

Adventure and Solitude: Experience a true wilderness without large crowds.
