Totally satisfied.

Totally satisfied.
We (my wife and I) contacted Joseph, a good and reliable acquaintance, and our request was:
“Please, organize for us a tour of three / four days across the parks (our destination for vacation on the sea was Diani Beach) and not very expensive.”
Well, I’ll be brief: we landed at Mombasa airport – Monday 12th January 2026 and went to Tsavo East on board of a Land Cruiser driven by Julius, our dedicated ranger for the whole itinerary.
In Tsavo East our accommodation was at Sentrim Lodge, an appreciated stay.
The second day we went to Amboseli park, with very excellent accommodation at Kibo Safari Camp, overlooking Kilimanjaro.
On the third day we reached Tsavo West - at Tahita Hills - where we stayed at Salt Lick Safari Lodge, very particular place.
The fourth day – Thursday – Joseph and Julius, drove us to our seaside resort, after about 800,00 Kms and more than 700 between photos and videos of our safari tour. Going through the mentioned parks has been a very emotional experience and seeing all animals living peacefully and undisturbed in those unique surroundings, gave us happiness. Nonetheless a word must be said in favour of the super organized lodges where we spent the little time off-safaris.
Our experiences were really worth also pricewise. Thanks a lot, to Joseph and Julius, from Adriano and Gabriella.

Amazing safari experience in Tsavo West & East

Amazing safari experience in Tsavo West and East National Parks with our wonderful guide Masudi and great driver Rama. We were picked up at the hotel in Diani Beach in a Toyota Landcruiser which had a roof that could be raised so that we could stand during the safari and observe the animals and wildlife. We saw loads of amazing sights and learnt lots about the wildlife from Masudi. Definitely to be recommended!
