The Tsavo experience indeed!!
This was a really thrilling trip for us. We had been to the Masai Mara before which was really exciting. We wanted a change, but was a little worried that Tsavo wouldn't live up to the Masai experience. How wrong we were! We had four of us in a jeep with a driver called Sam. He was a friendly chap and so knowledgable like most of these drivers are. They are in radio contact with other drivers as well, so even more eyes to help when an interesting sighting occurs. It was a real jeep safari just as you would expect. We drove alongside all of the usual animals and really felt part of them, we were that close. The weather was fabulous, very warm and clear blue sky with breathtaking scenery. Having said that, wet weather would not have put us off going. We have had some really exciting safaris charging through mud puddles in pursuit of rhino! Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer but we met wonderful people and we left with wonderful photographs, wonderful video and wonderful memories.

Once in a lifetime experience that needs to be done again.
I was surprised at the beauty and luxury at Tsavo. From the tents overlooking the river, which were rustic but luxurious, to the amazing dining facility with incredible selection, everything exceeded expectations. When I got to my tent, I could see hippos in the river from my patio. On the safari, we saw elephants, cheetahs, wildebeests, hippos, hyenas, and a pride of lions eating a water buffalo. Incredible experience. I travel to Kenya every summer to work with humanitarian organizations, and this year the safari was a special treat. I hope to do it again.

Where the "wild west" takes on new meaning
If you head to the far south-eastern border of the park, where Kenya meets Tanzania, you’ll find yourself in a very remote area on the shore of Lake Jipe. There is an abundance of wildlife in this area, and we saw huge herds of waterbuck, eland, gemsbok, elephants, and troops of baboons.
There is a camp site and bandas on the shore of the lake. We camped alongside a large herd of waterbuck; had hippo grazing past our tent in the evening, and woke in the morning to views of Kilimanjaro. A short drive along the lake, where we breakfasted

on top of our Land Cruiser, we spent more than an hour watching a herd of elephants moving over to an island in the lake.Within an hour, this park had become one of my favourites in all of Africa.

Africa's last remaining jewel
Breathtaking landscapes, but shy wildlife due to infamous history of poaching. Despite that fact we saw many animals, one needs to be patient. Ngulia Safari Lodge offers a magical view of the families of elephants, buffalo bathing in a floodlit water holes and of course a famous Leopard dinning tree, an awesome eye to eye experience. As a regular traveler to Kenya and a member of Kenya Museum Society, I get to meet a lot of guides, but I would like to highlight two names: Collins Okello Japesa and Stanley A. Komoras, best guides ever.

Refreshing & invigorating activity away from the city bustle.
I experienced one of the most beautiful & mind-blowing sunsets with the natural aura smell of nature which I usually take for granted,
This day there was something special & fulfilling about it.
You probably should give it a try
Unforgettable experience

We had a great night drive experience with seeing lions take down their prey and eat it alive until it finally died, but in general there wasn't a huge amount of wildlife to see at this place. They need to add more roads closer to water areas to see more animals. It's very dry and hot so the animals are probably at the water areas that vehicles do not have access to. I think we were lucky to have seen the lion experience. Without that it would have been pretty slim to see a lot of wildlife. It's a long drive especially if you don't get to have an amazing experience. The tent camp did have a lot of hippos in their water. I give this 4 stars only because of the night drive Lion experience. If that did't happen it would be a 1 or 2 stars max.

Prettier scenery, better purity of air, wider variety of wildlife. Smaller areas to cover.

Long drives before you could see any animals..
Maybe in August there is more to see.
