Dust kicks up as the Land Cruiser rolls off the highway and the wide, sun-bleached plains of Tsavo East stretch open — acacia shadows slicing the horizon. On this private two-day loop from Diani Beach you move deliberately: late-afternoon drives when elephants push toward pans, dawn patrols when lion roars still hang on the air.
