Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tsavo East?
The best area to stay in Tsavo East is within the park boundaries, particularly near the Voi and Aruba Dam regions, to maximise your wildlife viewing opportunities.

The area around Voi Gate offers a good selection of lodges and camps. It's easily accessible from the main Nairobi-Mombasa road, making it convenient for arrivals and departures. This region is known for its open plains, which are ideal for spotting large herds of elephants, zebras, and giraffes. The Voi River also attracts a variety of wildlife, especially during the drier months.

For those keen on photography and experiencing a high concentration of animals, staying near Aruba Dam is an excellent choice. The dam is a permanent water source, drawing in a diverse array of wildlife, particularly during the dry season. Lodges in this vicinity often offer elevated views over the dam, providing fantastic opportunities to observe animals without leaving your accommodation. It's particularly good for couples looking for a romantic safari experience with stunning natural backdrops.

Families often find lodges within the park boundaries to be a great fit. Many offer activities tailored for younger guests, and being inside the park means less travel time to and from game drives, allowing for more rest and relaxation between excursions.
When is the best time to go to Tsavo East?
The best time to visit Tsavo East is during the long dry season, which runs from June to October.

The vegetation is sparser, making it easier to spot wildlife as animals gather around the remaining water sources like the Galana River and the Aruba Dam. This period is excellent for game drives, as the animals are more visible and active.
