The minivan eases out of Mombasa before dawn, the coast’s humid breath cooling as the highway unspools inland. Coconut palms give way to acacia and the road narrows; by midmorning the red earth of Tsavo West glows under a wide, dry sky. At Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp the dam waits like a quiet mirror, hippos turning the surface into a bubbling punctuation and crocodiles sunning themselves with the easy assurance of creatures that have no timetable but the sun.

Adventure Tips
Book malaria prophylaxis in advance
Tsavo West is a malaria area; consult your doctor for prophylaxis and pack DEET or Picaridin repellent.
Neutral colors for game drives
Wear khaki, olive or brown to reduce visibility to wildlife and avoid bright colors that attract insects.
Carry small local currency
Bring Kenyan shillings for roadside snacks, tips and small purchases in villages along the route.
Request night drives ahead of time
Night game drives are available on request—book early if you want to focus on nocturnal species.
