The Best Tsavo Packages Kenya from Nairobi.
Your best safari company in Kenya, Baecation Adventures, consistently has the best Tsavo Safari packages depending on the Kenyan holiday. In other words, we design group joining safaris from Nairobi to Tsavo during the long holiday weekends. Most of our occasional group joining safaris are usually 3 days, 2 nights.
For Tsavo, you can access it either by Road, Air or by Rail. Let’s briefly discuss the two.
-
Tsavo Road Safaris.
The most common type of safari in Kenya is a road safari. However, this is becoming phased out fast by the SGR train Tsavo Packages.
Tsavo Road Safaris are mostly 3 days 2 nights whereby the first day is spent travelling from Nairobi to Tsavo. The second day is mostly spent in the Tsavo bush looking for the big five animals. In the safari, by the way, you can combine both the Tsavo East and Tsavo West game drives.
Last but not least, the third day is spent travelling back to Nairobi. Of course, we have the best safari vans which are driven by well-experienced tour guides such as Tony and Eustus. Therefore, you are assured of the best game drive safari experience in Tsavo.
2. SGR Tsavo Safari Packages.
Nowadays, Tsavo safari packages have become very affordable and cheap. How? The major aspect that makes a safari expensive, apart from the accommodation, is the transport.
So, with the recent introduction of the SGR train, accessing Tsavo has become cheaper, faster, and safer. As we all know, travelling by rail is one of the safest modes of transportation.
Therefore, our 3-day 2-night SGR packages ensure that you get the maximum time to relax during your game drive. When you alight from the SGR, you will be met by our guides at the train station. You will get transferred to the hotel with the check-in at lunchtime. Next is the evening game drive, which is optional. The second day finds you with two game drives (Morning and Evening) while the third day is checking out.
So, whenever you are looking for the best Tsavo Safari Packages, please choose Baecation Adventures today. Our expertise in such ensures that you will get the maximum value of your hard-earned money. Please talk to us today!
3. Flying Tsavo Safari Packages.
Nothing beats time when on a safari than flying. For example, let’s assume that you want to experience all the parks’ safaris in Kenya, namely, Masai Mara, Samburu, Amboseli, and Diani.
Obviously, the best way to travel, so that you beat the traffic jam, is by flying. At Baecation Adventures, we understand that perfectly well. That’s why we have a flying safari category.
Here, we book you in either a private jet, chopper or charter or join the public local safari aeroplanes. For instance, you are able to fly from Nairobi to Tsavo, to Masai Mara, to Amboseli, to Diani, etc.
Our flying safaris enable you to experience more in less time. Secondly, flying is safer and faster. All the Kenya safari destinations have local airstrips which offer convenient flying safari options. Please try out Kenya flying safaris, you will never regret!
The Price of Tsavo Safari packages in Kenya.
Just like any other safari packages, the price is greatly determined by the season, accommodation choice, the number of people and finally, the mode of transport.
However, at Baecation Adventures, I can only offer you the minimum safari price to Tsavo for a group joining for 3 days and 2 nights. It is highly recommended that, before you book for a safari, to always reach out to the best safari companies such as Baecation Adventures.
This allows you to customise your safari and share private information that helps in designing a personal quotation. Generally, we aim to listen to your needs to finally advise you on the best safari option that is available in the market.

Here are some of the Kenya holiday weekends that I am talking about.
- Easter Holiday Packages to Tsavo
- Christmas Holiday season Tsavo Packages
- Idd & Ramdhan Holiday Packages
- Other short holidays include Madaraka Day, Mashujaa Day, Labour Day, etc
So, during these short holidays, we organise group joining safaris. However, that does not mean we cannot custom-make a safari for you at any time. In fact, one of the best experiences you can ever have is when you book a private safari.
Allow us to delve a little deeper into the above Kenya holiday seasons when it comes to Tsavo Safari offers.
-
Tsavo Easter Safari Holiday deals with Baecation Adventures.
Basically, Tsavo is not as popular a National Park from Nairobi as it is from Mombasa. Therefore, many Nairobi residents prefer visiting other 
parks that are closer to the City.
Mombasa, on the other hand, has the biggest number of tourists visiting the park. So, since we have offices in Mombasa, we offer frequent safaris to Tsavo.
During the Good Friday and Easter holiday season, many people frequent the park. Your best safari company in Kenya has not been left behind when it comes to organising the best Tsavo Safari Packages. Always check out with us through our social media for the current offers.
By the way, if you have a group of friends who would want to travel, please bring them and we will give you a discounted group rate. Also, for the private tours, it always saves some dollars whenever you book early. You can even pay in monthly instalments in our payment plans.
2. Tsavo Christmas Packages
Another popular time that you can travel to Tsavo from Nairobi affordably is during the Christmas season. Of course, we also have the December holiday season, the period before Christmas, when schools are closed.
Baecation Adventures usually have affordable Christmas Holiday season packages not only to Tsavo, but also to other parks. The other parks we have alongside Tsavo are Masai Mara, Samburu, Amboseli, Mombasa, Watamu, Diani, and Malindi.
Similarly, many people prefer going on holiday during the Christmas period. Many prefer going to the beach, while others opt to combine a bush safari and the beach.
Whichever way, your best safari company, Baecation Adventures, can make this possible right away. Simply get in touch with us, and we will help you design the most preferred quotation just for you!
The Best Tsavo Safari Packages in Kenya.

Without further ado, let’s dive in.
-
Cheapest Tsavo Safari Packages.
Did you know that you can experience Tsavo Safari for as low as $250 per person? Yes, you heard me right. The idea that makes this package ideal is when we do it as 2 two-day safaris at Saltlick Lodge and travel in an SGR Train.
Does it make sense now? I hope it does. So the next time that you are in Nairobi and you have 2 days free, you can consider booking a safari to Tsavo. We will book you either an economy, first class or Premium SGR train.
What’s more, some of the add-ons include a water hole room at Saltlick Lodge. This allows you to have a clear view of the animals once they come to drink water at the waterhole. Enjoy the view from the comfort of your room.
You will get picked up from the SGR Station and taken to your lodge. The next day, you can enjoy your first game drive. Please remember that the accommodation at Saltlick is on full board.
Thirdly, it doesn’t matter whether you are starting a safari from Nairobi or Mombasa. Since Baecation Adventures has offices in both Locations.
2. Luxurious Tsavo Safari Packages.
One of the best Tsavo Safari packages that you can book for yourself with Baecation Adventures is a Luxurious one. Here, we mostly book your accommodation at the famous Serena Kilanguni Lodge for at least 4 days.
This Luxurious package ensures that you get to see all that Tsavo has to offer in terms of flora and fauna. Secondly, your accommodation at Serena Kilanguni ensures total relaxation, enabled by their spa treatments.
For the ground transportation, we can use our luxurious Toyota Land Cruiser Safari Vans from our sister company, Bamm Tours.
3. Solo or Individual Tsavo Safari Packages
Suppose you find yourself alone in either Mombasa or Nairobi, and it has always been your desire to do a cheap safari. What would you do? Baecation Adventures advises individuals who are willing to travel alone or solo to do a Tsavo Safari Package. Whereby, as we advised above, we will book an SGR train (Economy, First Class, or Premium).
So, the next minute, you are being picked up by a tour guide from Saltlick Lodge. Of course, the price of a solo Tsavo safari package ranges from $250 during the low season. Please check out with us and see our current offers today.
4. Family Tsavo Safari Packages.
Another way that you can treat your family members is by booking them a safari to Tsavo. I say this because I know that kids will enjoy this more. Similar to their parents.
Additionally, you can even book a Tsavo Safari Package for your parents. Whether they are celebrating their wedding anniversary, birthdays, or any other life milestone. Tsavo offers a unique experience, unlike the popular Masai Mara and Amboseli.
Similarly, if you are celebrating your honeymoon, Tsavo safari Packages are the best. Why? Tsavo National Park offers great privacy since it is not highly congested. Therefore, you can be sure that you will enjoy it to the maximum.
5. Corporate Tsavo Safari Packages.
If you are an organisation which is looking for a better way to do team building, then Tsavo Safari Packages should top the list. Based on what we have discussed above, the Privacy.
Your largest park in Kenya, Tsavo Park, is not highly frequented by Kenyans. And therefore, the tranquillity will ensure that the members absorb their training.
Lastly, for any type of people, we would not hesitate to recommend Tsavo Safari Packages to anyone.
The Best Safari Company in Kenya – Baecation Adventures.
As your best safari company in Kenya, Baecation Adventure has curated affordable group joining safaris to other parks alongside Tsavo. For example,
- Nairobi National Park Tour Packages
- Lake Nakuru Safari Packages
- Amboseli Safari Packages
- Samburu Safari Packages
- Masai Mara Safari Packages
Let’s dive into each of the above safari packages with Baecation Adventures. By the way, you can combine different safari packages.
-
Nairobi National Park Safari Packages.
Did you know that Nairobi National Park is the only national park in the world located adjacent to a capital city? Yes. Within just a 20-minute drive from your city hotel, you arrive at the Nairobi National Park main gate.
Over the years, Baecation Adventures has been arranging for Nairobi National Park tours for individuals (Solo travellers), groups of friends or colleagues, as well as couples or honeymooners.
One advantage of going for a Nairobi National Park safari is that you can do it in any type of vehicle. From a salon one, to mid-size SUVs, to finally the tourist game drive vans. Baecation Adventures works hand in hand with Bamm Tours for transportation purposes.
The Nairobi National Park tour can also be combined with a visit to David Sheldrick, Giraffe Centre, Bomas of Kenya, a lunch at Carnivore, and the Museum of Kenya. Actually, you can do all this in just a day. So, the next time you visit Nairobi, please know that there are so many things that you can do.
For those who would prefer fun things to do, the best sports adventure company, Baecation Adventures, has them. Some of the fun things that you can do while in Nairobi include,
- Cycling at
Karura Forest - Hiking Ngong Hills, Oldonyo Sabuk or Karura Forest.
- Ziplining at Ngong hills, Kereita Forest, or Paradise Lost
- Sky biking at Burudani Adventure Park or Twin Rivers, Tigoni
- Water rafting, Kayaking, and Abseiling in Sagana
- Quad bikes at Whistling Moran
- Go-karting at Kianjogu, Redhill
- Ice Skating at Panari
- Archery at Kereita forest
- Jet Skiing in Ruiru.
2. Lake Nakuru Safaris from Nairobi.
If you are a first-time visitor to Nairobi and have already gone on the Nairobi National Park tour, we advise you to try the Pink Lake. The experience here is quite different from other safari locations in Kenya. Why? Because you go around the lake and have plenty of both white and black rhinos.
Secondly, you can drive from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru as a day trip. Meaning that you will be back in Nairobi in the evening, having experienced the Rift Valley part of Kenya.
Of course, there are other species that you can see in Nakuru National Park. Nakuru National Park has the Big 4 animals. Similar to Nairobi Park, you can use any type of car to do the game drive around Lake Nakuru park.
3. Amboseli Safari Packages.
Another common place that we extend our safari offers alongside Tsavo is Amboseli. The beauty of Amboseli is the presence of Mount Kilimanjaro and the largest elephant herds that dominate the park.
Additionally, a Tsavo safari is usually combined with Amboseli, especially for wildlife enthusiasts. You too can opt to combine the Tsavo safari with the Amboseli one.
Of course, Baecation Adventures offers the best Amboseli safaris alongside the best Tsavo Safari Packages. Please contact us today for any safari enquiries that you may have. Our team of experts will be ready to help you.
4. Samburu Safaris.
For those who would want to experience what the northern part of Kenya offers, booking a Samburu safari is the ultimate choice. Samburu safaris, especially the ones that we offer at Baecation Adventures, are the best. Why?
Over the years, we have the best-trained tour guides or drivers who can spot the wildlife better. Secondly, our fleet of tourist vans is all fitted with 4×4 ability to enable you to drive in any season.
Thirdly, we have hand-picked the best hotels or lodges in Samburu. Therefore, you can rest assured that whenever you book a safari with us, you will indeed get the best value for your money, and you will create long-lasting memories!
5. Masai Mara Safaris
I know that I should have written this as the first safari because Masai Mara is the most popular safari in Kenya. This is because it houses the 7th wonder of the world, the annual wildebeest migration.
Secondly, the Masai Mara savannah allows you to spot the Big Five animals all at once. This is usually a challenge to other parks in Kenya, such as Tsavo.
Luckily, you can book a combined Masai Mara Safari with a Tsavo one. Finally, you can decide to end your bush safari with a relaxing holiday at the beach. For the Beach holiday, you can combine the Tsavo safari with either the Mombasa beach holiday, Diani or Watamu.
Let’s talk a little about the combined Tsavo safari with a Kenyan beach holiday. You can either choose to book the following beach holiday.
- Mombasa Beach Holiday
- Diani Beach Holiday
- Watamu Beach Holiday.
-
Mombasa Beach Holiday Combined with the Tsavo Safari
As I mentioned before, Tsavo is closer to the Mombasa coastal city than Nairobi. In fact, over time, we have done many Tsavo Safaris from Mombasa rather than from Nairobi.
Booking the best Tsavo Safari Packages from Mombasa ensures that you get to relax at the Mombasa Beach once you are done with your safari.
Imagine yourself soaking in the sun and sandy beach, sunbathing, enjoying a sensational massage after an exhilarating Tsavo safari. Indeed, Baceation Adventures helps you create long-lasting memories!
2. Diani Beach Holiday Packages.
If you are looking for the most romantic and private beach in Kenya, then we recommend Diani. Unlike its counterpart, the North Coast Mombasa Beach, most of Diani’s sandy beaches are clean and offer a relaxing environment.
In addition, while at Diani, you may decide to drive to Wasini Island to go and watch the Dolphins. Baceation Adventures, your best safari company, offers nice dolphin watch tours to Wasini Island.
Thirdly, the best Tsavo safari Packages can be easily combined with a Diani Beach holiday. Here, you can either use a train (SGR) from Tsavo to Miritini, and then we pick you up and transfer you to Diani. Of course, we can drive you in our Land Cruiser all through. The choice is yours.
3. Watamu Beach Holidays.
Since Kenya safaris did not start the other day, many tourists love Watamu because it is easily accessible. You can fly there through Malindi International Airport from Nairobi or Mombasa.
While at Watamu, you can enjoy other water sports activities such as Jet skiing, Kayaking, windsurfing, swimming, and snorkelling. Obviously, Baecation Adventures can easily organise these water sports activities just for you.
Combining your Tsavo safari with a Watamu beach holiday is a good choice that we can highly recommend.

Tsavo and Masai Mara each offer different experiences. Here’s a list that tells the difference.
Tsavo National Park – Wild, Vast & Untamed.
- Size & Solitude: Tsavo is Kenya’s largest park, offering remote, crowd-free game drives across dramatic landscapes.
- Wildlife Highlights: Famous for its red elephants, fringe-eared oryx, and the historic “man-eaters of Tsavo” lions.

- Visibility Conditions: Early mornings after rain or during cooler months (June–October) tend to offer the clearest views.
- Park Section: Tsavo West is closer to the Tanzanian border and has elevated terrain, making it more likely to catch a glimpse of the mountain’s snow-capped peak.

What You Need to Know About Self-Driving in Tsavo.
Permitted & Popular
- Self-driving safaris are allowed in both Tsavo East and Tsavo West.
- Many travellers rent 4×4 vehicles and explore the parks independently, especially from Nairobi or Mombasa.
Vehicle Requirements
- A 4×4 vehicle is strongly recommended, especially in Tsavo East, where roads can be sandy and rough.
- Tsavo West has better-maintained roads but includes rocky terrain near volcanic areas like Chyulu Hills.
Navigation Tips
- Use offline maps (e.g., Maps.me or GPS) as signage is limited and mobile network coverage is patchy.
- Fuel stations are scarce inside the park—fill up in Voi (Tsavo East) or Mtito Andei (Tsavo West).
Safety & Park Rules
- Stay in your vehicle unless at designated areas or instructed by a ranger.
- Drive slowly (max 40 km/h) and keep a safe distance (20+ meters) from wildlife.
- Do not feed animals, litter, or go off-track—violations may result in fines.
- Park hours: Open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. No driving after dark.
Best Time to Self-Drive
- The dry season (June–October) is ideal for easier driving and better wildlife visibility.
- Avoid April–May due to heavy rains that can wash out roads.
Self-driving in Tsavo offers unmatched freedom, but it requires preparation, caution, and respect for nature. It’s perfect for seasoned travellers, photographers, or anyone craving a raw, immersive safari.
10. Are there lions in Tsavo Park?
Yes—Tsavo National Park is home to a thriving population of lions, including some of the most unique and historically famous big cats in Africa.
What Makes Tsavo Lions Special?
- Maneless Males: Many male lions in Tsavo lack the iconic mane, an adaptation to the park’s hot climate and thorny terrain.
- Historical Fame: The infamous Man-Eaters of Tsavo terrorised railway workers in 1898, earning global notoriety.
- Distinct Behaviour: Tsavo lions tend to form smaller prides and are highly territorial, often led by a single dominant male.
Where to Spot Lions in Tsavo
- Tsavo East: Around Galana River and Aruba Dam, where prey gather during dry seasons.
- Tsavo West: Near Mzima Springs and Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, though vegetation makes sightings more challenging.
While modern Tsavo lions are not man-eaters, they remain wild predators—majestic, powerful, and a highlight of any safari.
