The sun slices the savanna gold as the safari van eases through the gate; dust lifts and elephants silhouette against low acacia. On day one you cross into Tsavo East, where red-dusted plains stretch toward distant kopjes and waterholes attract wary herds. By day two the terrain shifts—lava rock and dense bush mark Tsavo West, Mzima Springs bubbling clear beneath a canopy of fig trees.
