Departures from Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN)
Plan your trip to the heart of Africa. Ready to go? Explore Tsavo East and West National Parks with Safari Kenya Travel . See red elephants and book your trip today! Local guides in Italian.
Exploring the vast Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Park is the ideal choice for all Italian travelers wishing to experience an authentic African savannah adventure, departing directly from the beaches of Watamu , Malindi, or Mombasa. This gigantic protected area, divided into two distinct sections by the railway and road lines connecting the interior to the coast, is one of the largest and most fascinating nature reserves on the planet. At Safari Kenya Travel, we operate as a leading local agency, designing exclusive itineraries aboard private 4×4 jeeps and eliminating any unauthorized intermediaries.
If you’re finally ready to book your vacation, our in-depth guide to Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks will help you understand the profound biological and landscape differences that characterize these two extraordinary sections. Choosing the logistics authority of safarikenyatravel.com means traveling in complete safety, assisted by certified local ranger guides who speak perfect Italian, guaranteeing you a thorough, transparent, and flexible experience suitable for both families with small children and experienced nature photographers.
Within the circuit linked to Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks , the Eastern section stands out for its vast expanses, deep red earth, and predominantly arid vegetation consisting of acacia scrub. The reserve’s main attraction is the presence of the famous “red elephants,” enormous mammals that acquire this distinctive color by coating their skin with iron-rich soil dust to protect themselves from the sun and insects. During private game drives, our jeeps will take you along the banks of the Galana River and near Lugard Falls, strategic points where prides of lions and shy cheetahs regularly gather.
The landscape of Tsavo East is also dominated by the spectacular Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow, which creates a perfect horizontal line on the horizon. Staying at our selected scenic lodges within this portion of Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Park will allow you to truly experience the “longing for Africa,” admiring fiery sunsets from the veranda of your luxury room or dining around a Swahili fire beneath an unforgettable starry sky.
The western portion of the vast Tsavo East and West National Park offers a radically different landscape: the landscape becomes mountainous, verdant, and characterized by ancient black lava flows known as Shetani Flow. Here, wildlife roams through dense forests and rocky escarpments, making predator spotting an exciting challenge. The absolute highlight of Tsavo West is the Mzima Springs, where millions of liters of freshwater filtered through the Chyulu Hills resurface, creating natural pools populated by hippos and Nile crocodiles.
At Safari Kenya Travel, we always include a ranger-led walk through this lake ecosystem. An underground glass observatory allows you to watch hippos swimming underwater from a unique, up-close perspective. Visiting the entire combined Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks will give you an extraordinary overview of Kenya’s biodiversity, moving from dusty plains to spring-fed oases in just a few hours of road travel.

We left Malpensa on a direct Neos flight to Mombasa, and the Safari Kenya Travel staff was already waiting for us at the arrivals desk. Our trip was simply perfect: the organization was impeccable down to the smallest detail, and the price was incredibly fair compared to the exorbitant quotes we received from agencies in Milan. They are an absolute authority on safaris in Kenya . Choose them if you want to book without surprises!
Colombo family, Monza
The direct flight from Milan Malpensa to Mombasa takes about 8 hours. If you choose a scheduled flight with a stopover, the total flight duration varies from 11 to 15 hours depending on your connection.
It depends on your itinerary. If you want to go on a Safari + Sea in Watamu or visit Tsavo East, Mombasa is ideal. If you’re aiming for the Masai Mara or the northern parks, Nairobi is the best choice.
