Extension - Tsavo Safari (1 night) from £149 Ngutuni is an authentic safari lodge located in the heart of a private game sanctuary, surrounded on three sides by Tsavo East National Park. The lodge overlooks a water hole and is set against the spectacular backdrop of the Sagala Hills, only 2.5 hours drive from Mombasa. Once home to the infamous 'man eating lions of Tsavo' who preyed on men constructing the railway line between Mombasa and Kampala, the sanctuary and surrounding national park are best known today for their fantastic variety of wildlife. Day 1 Morning departure from your beach hotel and drive to Tsavo East National Park. Game drive and continue to Ngutuni Lodge for lunch. Afternoon game drive in search of lion, elephant, buffalo, eland, giraffe, zebra, kudu and possibly rhino. Return to Ngutuni Lodge for dinner. During the evening watch animals emerge from the bush and drink at the softly illuminated water hole. Overnight stay at Ngutuni Lodge. Day 2 Early morning game drive in Ngutuni's private 10,000 acre game sanctuary. This is the perfect time to see animals foraging for food before the heat of the day sets in. Return to the lodge for breakfast where we hope to enjoy the sight of elephant and buffalo drinking at the water hole. After a leisurely breakfast check out and return to Mombasa, arriving around noon. Drop off at your beach hotel. More > Longer safaris available on request. |
