Tsavo East National Park
With an area of 11,747 square kilometres, the eastern part is about 2,000 km2 larger than the western part. The areas to the north of the Galana River, which is a permanent water source, about two thirds of the park, are inaccessible to visitors. The park is characterised by grass and bush savannahs and semi-desert steppes. These alternate with acacia forests, gorges, individual rock groups and island mountains. Seasonal rivers in the southern part are the Voi River and the Mbololo River. The Athi River and the Galana River are permanent waterways. The Galana River is formed above the Lugard Falls by the confluence of the Athi and Tsavo Rivers. Along the rivers there are narrow gallery forests. Standing waters can be found at Mundanda Rock (natural damming through rock face) and at Aruba Dam, in addition to smaller water holes, often created by elephants. Parts of the park are of volcanic origin. A flat and extensive lava ridge, the Yatta Plateau, runs along the western boundary in the east of the Athi River. It is the longest lava field in the world.

Auch dieses Jahr waren wir wieder mit Marco Polo Safaris unterwegs.
Dieses Mal ging es mit unserem Guide Sammy (Eagle eye ) wieder ins Sentrim Camp, Tsavo Ost und in die Lions Bluff Lodge, Taita Hills.
Sammy war bestens vorbereitet, der Wagen sauber, getankt, ausreichend Trinkwasser und pünktlich um 6 Uhr am Hotel, Galu Beach. Wir hatten Glück von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute. Bei der Einfahrt am Bachuma Gate trafen wir direkt auf eine Herde Elefanten. Während der Fahrt trafen wir schon vor dem Lunch auf Antilopen, Giraffen, Zebras, Pumbas und sogar Löwen. Dieser Erfolg zog sich am Nachmittag weiter: Löwen bei der Jagd einer Büffelherde. Das Sentrim ist ein schönes, sauberes Camp mit einem Wasserloch und einigen Tieren im Camp (Dikdiks, div. Vögel, Affen…).
Am zweiten Tag ging es mit einer weiteren Pirschfahrt am frühen Morgen weiter. Direkt haben wir noch einen Geparden getroffen. Und während der Fahrt zum Gate und zum Wechsel zum Taita Hills haben wir noch weitere Löwen und auch eine Hyäne getroffen. Zur Einfahrt des Taita Hills trafen wir schon viele Herden von Zebras, Büffel und Antilopen. Der Park ist so Tierreich, Wahnsinn! So viele Tierherden. Auf der Rückfahrt zur Lodge, nach der Nachmittags Pirschfahrt, konnten wir noch einen Leoparden bei der Jagd beobachten. Die Lions Bluff Lodge ist so urig und gemütlich, die kann man nur weiter empfehlen. Als wir uns dann am dritten Tag auf den Rückweg gemacht haben, kam der krönenden Abschluss. Eine einzelne Löwin, vollgefressen im Savannengras. Danach ein blutverschmierter Löwe, mit stolze Schritt und schöner Mähne. Und eine Herde von 8-10 Giraffen.
Alles in allem war es wieder eine gigantische Safari!!! Marco hat alles super geplant und wir könnten sogar noch kurzfristig ein Pärchen in unserem Jeep mitnehmen.
Wir hoffen auf ein weiteres Mal!!! 2021 steht Kenia nochmal auf dem Plan ❤️
We booked a three day Safari Tour with Marco to the Tsavo East and West Park in Kenia.
Marco booked everything within 3 hours and even took care of our wishes for hotels and the use of a Jeep.
Moreover we were quite late booking everything, since another agency ditched us last minute, so he even managed to organize everything two days before our trip should started.
Our Guide Sammy was a really nice and reliable driver. He was always punctual and he had a very deep knowledge about the park and the animals.
With him we made it to even see lions hunting in the park. Also very nice was that only me and my boyfriend were alone in a car with the driver, so we didn’t had to be stuffed with 6 people in a car trying to get a good animal picture without other people on the picture.
The Hotels Marco has chosen for us were a dream. The food was very good, the rooms comfy and clean and the view amazing. Our favorite was the salt lick lodge were you had a direct view from your room to the water holes.
We couldn’t have thought about a better experience in Kenia, thanks a lot Marco we would always book with you again!
