Day 3: Tsavo West National Park
First rays of sunlight, grazing hippos slide back into the water as a dawn chorus of birds slowly gathers momentum. For those opting for a dawn game drive, time for wake up call, tea and coffee served on the terrace before they begin to explore the Park. Animals begin to disappear into the undergrowth, those on game drives begin heading back to camp for breakfast. Sumptuous breakfast served on the terrace. After breakfast either relax on sun beds on your tent balconie or enjoy by the pool. Lunch is served on the terrace. The hippos stir in the springs, and crocodiles lounge in the sun at the water's edge. The cool of the afternoon sees Tsavo stirring to life, and a game drive through the park will reward you with plenty of opportunity for game viewing. Later pre-dinner drinks and snacks are served under the stars on the terrace, and dinner itself is a special affair. A seven course gourmet meal, served on fine china and crystal by waiters dressed in traditional Kanzu and Fez, as the gentle strains of Mozart play softly in the background.
