Day 2: Tsavo West - Mombasa
After an early wake-up call, a morning game drive is experienced. Chief among Tsavo West National Park ranks the marvel of Mzima Springs, replenished with two hundred and twenty million liters of crystal clear water every day, from the underground streams stemming from the lava massif known as the Chyulu Hills, 40-50 kilometers away.
Mzima forms a haven for a rich wildlife pageant with elephant soaking half immersed in the waters, light-footed but ponderous looking hippo, apparently weightless, tip-toeing across the bottom, crocodiles basking on the bank or swirling through the water; gazelles, zebra and giraffe wandering around the banks through the thick acacias and raffia palms together with hundreds of chattering monkeys and birds.
Attractions
- Physical attractions: Mzima Springs, Shetani Lava Flow, Poachers Lookout, views of Mount Kilimanjaro weather permitting
