Both of us had a fantastic trip from the time we stepped from the airport to the time we went back to the airport.
The green covers the land like a carpet as trees and shrubs laden with the weight of sprouting leaves sway in the wind.Flashback at a few months ago. The scorching dusty brown earth punished animalswith a vengeance looking to their keepers for sustenance but even this was notenough as many died from the drought that had hit man and animalalike.
Today, Tsavo West National Park is full of life , hippos frolic in the water and do not have to rely on hay tosurvive.This was a marvelous game drive . After a relaxation afternoon ofsightseeing and a hearty dinner we retired in the cosy hotel rooms. Before werealized it was morning already and we were being called for a game drive . Itwas a breathtaking experience as the guide gave us a general description of thepark. We slowed down as we approached a site where vultures were feasting on acarcass of a Zebra, some flew away as others continued with there mealunperturbed.
Night game drives are also available as we learned between 7 pm to 9pm, although another session between 9pm to 11pm wasrecently introduced.
We drove at the Kenya Wildlife Service recommended speed of 40km/h enjoying the date with nature. Herds of Elephantshad plenty of forage to eat, a definite improvement compared to the few monthsago. Hippos that had survived the drought enjoyed themselves at the MzimaSprings. Tsavo National Park is divided into two, the Tsavo East National Parkand Tsavo West National Park. Three days is perfect for a visit to the two TsavoNational Park. It can also be combined with a visit to the famous AmboseliNational Park well known for it's Big Jumbos (Elephants) and the only place youcan have a view of the famous Kilimanjaro Mountain located in Tanzania one ofthe neighbors of Kenya.
