A great way to see just about everything!
Our lovely guide Mbula picked us up in our 4x4 safari vehicle at 8am ready for our 2 day safari. From our hotel we drove 2.5hr to a souvenir shop/toilet break before entering the park. During our 65km drive to our lodge, we managed to see the big 5 (other than rhino as there are so few left in the park and very rarely seen). The highlight was the beautiful leopard, simply lounging in a tree. We were dropped off at the lodge around 2pm for a late lunch and to check in. Our room was good and we could see the waterhole however the fan was not very effective and the room was very hot and stuffy. At 4pm we went for a second slow drive through the park and had time to take pictures of the numerous birds as well as the animals. Dinner was back at the lodge at 7pm....and then the excitement really began. Over the next 2hrs, we estimated around 100 elephants visited the waterhole, each group waiting patiently until the last group had finished. "Teenagers" charging through the water at the birds then going for a swim whilst families with their babies drank silently at the waters edge - all within a few feet of us. It was magical! Exhausted, we collapsed into bed around 9.30pm. Next morning, having had an early breakfast, we left the lodge at 7am and had a leisurely 4hr drive back through the park before taking a brief toilet break. Then it was on to the Masai village. Although very small (and expensive for what it was), it gave us an insight into their ways and culture. After, we stopped for lunch before heading back to Mombasa, arriving around 2pm. Although we had 2 extremely long and tiring days, it was a fantastic way to see just about every animal you could think of - tortoise, mongoose,ostrich, warthog, buffalo, lion, leopard, elephant, jackal, hippo, zebra, giraffe and a huge variety of antelope and birds. Thanks Mbula for a great safari experience and one which we wont forget! PS thanks also to Jennifer who corresponded so quickly and efficiently with me before we went on the safari, answering my questions very comprehensively.
Response from the operator: Hello Sandra, Thank you so much, Sandra, for taking the time to share such a beautifully detailed review of your 2-day Kenya safari experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your safari with our guide, Mbula, created such unforgettable memories—from spotting the leopard relaxing in a tree to witnessing the incredible elephant gathering at the lodge waterhole. Moments like these truly capture the magic of a Kenyan wildlife safari. It is wonderful to know you enjoyed both the game drives and the wide variety of wildlife seen during your Tsavo safari adventure, including lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, zebra, antelope, and so many beautiful bird species. A 2-day safari from Mombasa is indeed a fantastic way to experience the beauty of Kenya’s national parks, even within a short time. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the room fan and comfort at the lodge. Guest feedback helps improve future safari experiences, and we truly value your comments. Your kind words about Jennifer’s quick communication and support before your trip mean a lot to us as well. We always aim to make the safari planning process smooth, informative, and stress-free from the very beginning. Thank you once again for choosing us for your Kenya safari holiday. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another unforgettable African safari adventure. Warm regards, The Team

Brilliant 2 days!
Brilliant trip, our driver Joseph was lovely. We got a gift from the company at the start which was a nice touch. Being so close to the animals was amazing! We stayed at Voi Lodge, the watering hole was literally out the window and the elephants visited it frequently.

Overall an unforgettable experience. Animals and land you can’t see anywhere else
The trip was very well organised. We were picked up early in Mombasa and were in Tsavo by late morning. Out guide was knowledgable and managed to show us most of the incredible fauna. All of the “Big Five”, many different kinds of anelope and (this doesn’t get reoatked on much) the bird life. Our accommodation was well chosen. Clean, nice food and right beside a watering hole. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear John, Thank you for sharing your wonderful review of our 2-Day Tsavo East National Park Tour from Mombasa/Diani. We are overjoyed to hear that your experience was truly unforgettable. The wildlife encounters and scenic landscapes make Tsavo East National Park one of Kenya’s top safari destinations. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed spotting the Big Five and various species of antelopes. We’re especially glad you appreciated the rich bird life, which many travelers discover while on safari. We’re also happy that our professional driver-guide made your game drives engaging with his knowledge of the park and its wildlife. We’re pleased you found the accommodation by the watering hole clean, comfortable, and well-located for evening wildlife viewing. It’s great to hear that the meals added to your overall experience. Thank you for recommending our Tsavo East safari from Mombasa/Diani to other travelers. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure. Perhaps you might explore Tsavo West National Park, Amboseli, or even a longer Kenya safari next time! Warm regards, Jennifer Creating unforgettable safari memories in Kenya

2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mombasa.
How much does 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night) cost?
+
Prices start at $714 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mombasa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night) take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mombasa is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mombasa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night)?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mombasa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mombasa and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Tsavo East National Park Tour From Mombasa/Diani (1 Night) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mombasa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mombasa?
+
On Outty we rank every Mombasa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mombasa City Tour, Walking Tour Through Old Town Mombasa and Fort Jesus, Visit to Fort Jesus and the Old Town of Mombasa. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mombasa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mombasa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
