1-Day Tsavo East Group Joining Tour from Diani/Mombasa/Malindi with Van

A Tsavo East group joining tour from Diani is a long, full-day safari that involves an early morning pickup from your hotel, followed by a drive to Tsavo East National Park in a shared safari vehicle, often a pop-top van. The day includes game drives to see wildlife like the famous "red elephants," lunch at a park lodge, and a late return to your accommodation. The experience is suitable for those wanting a quick wildlife experience, but can be a long day, with some tours being 11-12 hours long.
