My husband and I went to Tsavo East from Mombasa. The guide, benjamin, picked us up from the hotel right on time. He gave us an overview of what the trip entailed. We stopped briefly for breakfast provided by the hotel on the way, and were at the park by 8:30am. We stopped for 1 hour for lunch; the restaurant was at an elephant watering hole, so we watched different groups of elephants as we ate lunch.
We saw lots of animals-lions, elephants, buffalo, a hippo, giraffes, lots of zebras and lots of gazelles/antelopes. We called Benjamin the lion whisperer because he could literally sense the lions. One time he backed up the vehicles and stared intensely at the bushes till he saw the lions he sensed were there. He could see with his naked eye what we needed binoculars to see. We returned to our hotel at about 7 pm. It was a very good trip and I would highly recommend Benjamin and this tour.
