Overview

3 Day Masai Safari Walking Kenya

This program is ideal for guests looking at alternating game drives and a guided nature walk as well as having a night game drive. The 3 Days Safari Masai Kenya Walking takes you to Tsavo West, Tsavo East as well as Ziwani sanctuary -situated at the Western edge of Tsavo West with a breathtaking view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest Mountain 5894m.

Tsavo West and Tsavo East, located in Kenya, form one of the largest and most diverse wildlife ecosystems in Africa. Tsavo West National Park covers an expansive area of approximately 9,065 square kilometers and is known for its breathtaking landscapes, including rugged mountains, volcanic hills, and vast savannahs dotted with acacia trees. It is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the famous “red elephants” that are unique to the region. Visitors to Tsavo West can also explore the enchanting Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear waters flow through a series of pools inhabited by hippos and crocodiles.

On the other hand, Tsavo East National Park is even larger, spanning an impressive 13,747 square kilometers. It is renowned for its vast open plains, known as the “Theater of the Wild,” where visitors can witness incredible wildlife sightings, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and a myriad of bird species. The park also boasts the Lugard Falls, a series of picturesque rapids formed by the Galana River, which is a sight to behold.

Nestled between these two national parks is the Ziwani Sanctuary, a hidden gem for nature lovers. With an area of about 46 square kilometers, the sanctuary is situated on the western edge of Tsavo West. It offers a more intimate and exclusive wildlife experience, with a stunning landscape of open grasslands, dense forests, and the glistening Lake Jipe. Visitors can embark on guided walks, game drives, and even boat safaris to observe a diverse range of animals, such as elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and abundant birdlife.

All three destinations, Tsavo West, Tsavo East, and Ziwani Sanctuary, provide a remarkable opportunity to immerse oneself in the untamed beauty of Africa and witness the wonders of its diverse wildlife in their natural habitats.

The drive will last you approximately 2 hours before arriving at Tsavo East national park in time for lunch at your chosen lodge or camp.

Animals expected comprise; lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, serval cats, kongoni, kudu, oryx, impala, hyena, gazelle, buffalo and the “red” elephants (colored by the reddish soil which they apply on their bodies during sand bathing).

Around 500 bird species have been observed in the park, including ostrich and several species of migratory birds.

Tsavo East National Park.

Tsavo East, covering an area of 13474 sq. km is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Kenya. The elephants seem to have a red color, just like many other animals in the park, which is caused by the red dust which they spray on themselves against insects or parasites.

The lions of Tsavo owe their fame to the book and movie “The Man-eaters of Tsavo”. Here a few lions ate several railroad workers during the early 20th century. The lions were later shot dead. It seems the reason they attacked people was because of their bad teeth, which made it difficult for them to chew buffalo or gazelle meat.

At around 1830hrs drive back to the lodge/ camp of choice for dinner and overnight stay.

FAQs

Oranje safari is a well-reputed company in Kenya with a wealth of experience in the travel industry spanning close to 20 years. Considering the tour operator does not have its own accommodations, the advice given on safari accommodations will never be biased. Oranje's exclusive safari collects a small deposit via secured Visa or Mastercard to secure the booking and payment of the full amount just days before the safari, reducing the fear of losing your money and giving our customers peace of mind. We are members of KATO.

We highly recommend a minimum safari with an overnight stay. The best is to pre-book your safari from your country and end with a beach stay. To have a more relaxed safari, stay two nights in the same accommodation if you are going on a safari holiday because the game drives entail early starts where you might not even have time to enjoy the luxuries of the accommodations you are staying in. A safari will always depend on your budget and the desired days of stay. Oranje Exclusive Safaris recommends 4 days and above for a safari within East Africa (Kenya). For Family Safaris, Oranje Safaris recommend more than 7 days and above for great experiences with a beach extension to relax.

As a leading tour operator offering exclusive high-end safaris in Kenya, we regularly receive payments from all over the world. Customer payment is secure because you can pay with Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. As a Kato Member we are bonded by Kato member scheme. The KATO Bond Scheme is therefore intended to be a form of "financial guarantee" to cushion the business associates of KATO members against the possible loss of monies paid to a KATO member who is facing involuntary liquidation.

For the comfort of the parents’ children below 5 might be advisable for shorter safaris close to the beach Hotels or spending more nights in one lodge or safari camp. Children tend to become tired quickly, and the long bumpy roads are extremely uncomfortable for children.

On safari, you will be driving around to spot different animals; this is called a game drive. When booking your safari, your core interest is to know how many game drives you will be having and for how long, because that determines the chance you have of spotting animals. We can never guarantee the animals you will spot, but our professional driver guides will do their level best for you to see a lot of wildlife.

The best time to visit Kenya depends on what you want to do. Kenya is divided by the equator and is characterized by a tropical climate. We are luck to have 12hours of son and 12 hours of Darkness the whole year.
The weather in Kenya is often ideal, although the coast can be very humid and there are hot, desert-like conditions around Lake Magadi and in the northern areas of the country around Lake Turkana.
During the coolest months of June, July, and August, temperatures in Nairobi are around 60 °F, which can drop to about 50 °F in the Aberdare region and Mount Kenya.
Short rains: November to December It rarely rains all day. Short, heavy rainfalls are usually replaced by sunny periods, which makes this time in Kenya very pleasant.

Safari wear should be comfortable and casual. Evenings and early mornings can be chilly, so warm sweaters are recommended. Low-heeled, comfortable sports or trekking shoes are the most suitable walking shoes, should you intend to join any walking safaris.
We recommend you bring warm clothes, including a fleece or light wool sweater and socks, apart from the normal safari gear. During the day, it can get quite hot, so do not forget sunglasses and a high-factor sunscreen, as well as a sun hat with a small brim.
Due to the limited space in the light aircraft, we advise you to keep your luggage to a minimum. We suggest you pack your luggage into a small, soft bag weighing no more than 15 kg, the luggage limit for local flights issued by the airlines.

Safari’s cost is expensive because you get the total cost for the 4x4 Land Cruiser, park entrance fees, fuel, driver’s allowance, accommodations, drinks in the 4x4, all meals, etc. These costs are paid to us, and we pay for the accommodations.
We work with deeply knowledgeable, experienced driver guides, whom we pay well to ensure we retain them.
The lodges and camps we work with cost more because maintaining the high standard costs a lot more in the parks than in towns or cities. Lodges located inside the parks pay equally for Kenya's wildlife services.
