Tsavo East - Spend the entire Morning spotting game in Tsavo’s semi-arid to arid habitat, Fed by the confluence of Tsavo and Athi rivers, which go on to form Galan River.

Apart from its wildlife attractions, you will also get to see the aforementioned Yatta Plateau on the horizon which is billed as the world’s largest lava flow.

For Lunch Kindly Discuss/Request guide in advance, for Options or Suggestions that best suites you

After Lunch, Enjoy an Afternoon Game Drive as you appreciate Tsavo’s scenic views and the fact that it is a dry and unforgiving place where crowding into smaller spaces especially in the dry season for access to water and habitat is common. Making animals more susceptible to predators.

On the plus side, as the weaker and the diseased became easy picking, only the fittest and those who have the best genetic material, father the next generation.

Ensuring the species as a whole is more equipped to survive in this hardship.

Additional Information

Join us for a thrilling journey as we observe the wild habits of Tsavo’s diverse wildlife. Watch as giraffes maneuver delicately through prickly thorns to feast on the fresh foliage and branches of Acacia trees. Meanwhile, predators subtly pursue impalas, gazelles, elands, zebras, fringe-eared oryx, dik-diks, and other potential meals from the secluded corners of sparse bushlands and shadows.

This dynamic performance plays out against the cautious backdrop of browsing and hunting elephants, buffalos, rhinos and other substantial plant-eaters. Trek under tree canopies bustling with lively monkeys, baboons, galagos, and other arboreal species, ever ready to issue a warning at any sign of peril.

With such an array of wildlife contained within a varied landscape, you are guaranteed joy and excitement at every turn of your experience with Expedition Happy Hour.

One day safari - maybe too short but still was amazing - We went for a day so it was a very tiring trip there and back, but we got amazing experience and memories! Francis is a wonderful game driver, and even though it depends on the day and mostly luck, Francis made it all better by listening to our needs and getting the best position possible for us to get great photos. He looked well after us not just during the game, but also when we were stuck in traffic on the way back to the hotel, he is very considerate and patient (also speaks fluent Italian) so we definitely recommend!!!

3 Days 2 Nights Safari: Tsavo East and Ziwani - I had the opportunity to have a life experience that I truly recommend to everyone at least once in their life. I was in Kenya and thanks to Shariff (Sheriff for friends) and his availability and kindness, the stay was nothing short of spectacular. He accompanied us on a 3-day safari between Tsavo East and Ziwani and organized some wonderful experiences for us: blue safari with lunch on Waka Waka island, tuk tuk transport to Garoda beach, aperitif at sunset in Lichthaus and a visit to a school. Sheriff is a kind person and an excellent guide. He is very good at finding animals that camouflage themselves in the savannah and will do everything he can to let you see as many of them as possible. He also speaks Italian very well. It was a wonderful discovery, I hope to return to the magnificent place that is Kenya and I will certainly rely on him again.

Excursions with KASSIM famous SHERIFF number ONE! - We stayed in Kenya for a week in September. Our travel agency provided us with Kassim Scheriffo's contact and we entrusted ourselves to him to initially organize only the two-day and one-night safari to Tsavo East, then we got along so well that we let him organize and accompany us on all our excursions and WE COULD NOT HAVE MADE A BETTER CHOICE!! Sheriff speaks Italian well and immediately proved to be available, punctual and attentive to satisfying all our requests. The two days of Safari were splendid, he, together with the driver always ready to show us all the best that the Savannah has to offer, did everything to make us see as many animals as possible and they succeeded. We slept inside the camp, our tent, cemented with all the necessary facilities inside, was very clean and comfortable and directly overlooked a waterhole surrounded by elephants, hyenas, giraffes and other savannah animals. During the blue safari or marine safari he took us to the island of Waka WaKa, a true paradise on earth, there we attended a show organized by the people of the nearby village and we had a delicious lunch based on rice with coconut sauce , lobster and other fresh fish freshly prepared for us, an UNFORGETTABLE day. On the way back we stopped to have an aperitif on the ocean at sunset and in the following days Scheriff took us to the Marafa Canyon and the Gede ruins where you are surrounded by very friendly monkeys! In short, Sheriff, thank you for everything, thank you for making us love Kenya from day one, for being a beautiful discovery, a guide and an exceptional person! We recommend everyone to visit Kenya with Kassim famous Scheriffo, you won't regret it.... and you can't wait to go back!! Thanks Sheriff, hope to see you soon!!

Really nice Tour with Amazing highlights - It was really wonderful. Our guide was Francis and he really tried to show us everything, of course a national park is not a zoo, and the animals just do what they feel like. We were very lucky and had a very good guide who drove us safely to the "hotspots". We never felt unsafe, a really great experience that also never lacked respect for the animals. What belongs to the tour are local traders who of course try to bring their goods to the man, but this has nothing to do with the park or the guide, these are simply local customs with which one must know how to deal. All in all very nice tour and very happy to return! :)

A memorable Safari at Tsavo National Park - The trip was awesome. Our guide,Francis, was extremely knowledgeable. He was very professional, while his friendly demeanor made a us feel very comfortable and confident in his expertise. As we traveled to Tsavo, we learned much about the park and surrounding culture. Once we entered the park, Francis carefully pointed out animals and many areas of interest. He slowed down and stopped as he sited animals. He explained about their behavior and waited patiently as we watched them and took photos and videos. He was very considerate of our needs and wishes. He knew the best places to find the animals. The lunch buffet was wonderful. We truly enjoyed the trip. It was a trip of a lifetime. I will definitely recommend Happy Hour expedition to anyone interested in a memorable Safari. I wholeheartedly recommend that they ask for Francis as their guide.
