Tsavo West National Park is a popular tourist destination situated in the semi-arid area of the Taru Desert near the town of Voi. The park is famous for hosting a large population of man-eater lions and red elephants, which get their color from the red dust they roll in. On arrival, you will immediately have an en-route game drive as you head to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, visit Mzima Springs, where you may view the crocodiles and hippos swimming underwater. Later, drive back to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

The scenic route will take you through lush coconut and cashew nut farmlands and the villages of the Digo people. On arrival at Shimoni Jetty, board a motorized glass bottom dhow (boat), which will sail you through an enchanting seascape of islands to the richest marine park in Kenya (Kisite Island).

Being escorted by a dolphin expert makes this Wasini trip more enjoyable. Kisite Island's natural coral garden is where you will snorkel and marvel at the prolific marine life. A traditional, sumptuous seafood lunch will be served on board to ensure maximum time with the dolphins, or you can proceed to Wasini Island's restaurant. Mupunguti Island exploration provides good vantage points for watching the dolphins play and listening in the tranquil silence out for dolphin whistles blowing off.
