Detailed itinerary
Day 1:  Nairobi – Tsavo West National Park
You will be picked by an Exotic Expeditions representative from your hotel/airport, who will brief you before your drive to Tsavo west National Park. Arrive in time for lunch and go on a game drive later on in the afternoon. Return by 1700 hrs to see the special leopard feeding at the lodge where a leopard is baited with a piece of meat so as to come close enough for photos. Meals and overnight at NGULIA SAFARI LODGE (FB)

Day 2:  Tsavo West National Park
Have an early morning game drive before breakfast. The park has widespread volcanic rocks, the scenic Chyulu hills, a rhino sanctuary and the Shetani lava flows and caves. ‘Shetani’ refers to the supernatural phenomenon, named as such because traditional villagers could not explain the strange smoke and flames rising from beneath the ground.  It is said that a long flat stretch of volcanic rock was caused when a giant snake slithered over the hot lava. Meals and overnight at NGULIA SAFARI LODGE (FB)

Day 3:  Tsavo West National Park – Mombasa

Dinner is then served on the Fort’s verandah.  Overnight at SEVERIN SEA LODGE (HB)

Day 4:  Mombasa
After breakfast you shall be picked up from the hotel at 0730 hrs and depart for a half day tour of Mombasa Town, beginning with the Elephant Tusks on the Main Highway (which are a symbolic representation of the entrance into the heart of the town).
