Tsavo East Safari In One Day From Mombasa and Diani Beach, Kenya

Giraffe and Gazelle in Tsavo East
Whether you are in Mombasa or Diani Beach for business, a short weekend or perhaps time is a factor to consider when it comes to choosing a longer safari, a One Day Safari to Tsavo East National Park may just be the perfect wildlife safari for you. 
Formed in April 1948 and at a size of over 13,000 square kilometers, Tsavo East National Park is one of the largest and oldest wildlife parks in Kenya. 

Elephants in Tsavo East

Besides being famous for its dust covered elephants, the park is also known for  its maneless lions, zebras, giraffe, gazelles and if you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the rare rhino, leopard or even cheetah. Besides spotting larger game the park is also a favorite for enthusiastic bird watchers as Tsavo East has on record over 500 different species of birds. 

The driving distance from Mombasa to Tsavo East is about three hours, while from Diani Beach to Tsavo East it is approximately 4 hours, all dependent on traffic conditions of course. 
Since the park is not very far from the Kenya coast, the safari would depart from your hotel very early in the morning between 5:00am and 5:30am, arriving at the park gate around 09:00am where you immediately commence with your first game drive looking for wildlife until lunch time. After a quick lunch and relaxation,  the game drive continues and you begin to make your way towards the park exit to begin the journey back to Mombasa or Diani arriving in the late evening.

The typical 1 day tsavo east itinerary would look like this: One Day Tsavo East Safari

So if you are looking for a suitable day safari trip, Tsavo East would be an ideal choice considering its relatively short driving distance and the variety of wildlife you may get to see.

The Roughness Of A Lions Tongue

A lions tongue has numerous tiny spines called papillae Pet lovers with a domestic cat at home will relate to this story quite well, as they would have had their hands or fingers licked by their cat's tongue at some point or another. A lion’s tongue is no less different in design to that of a house cats, with the exception that its sheer size and heaviness would make a lions tongue as rough and harsh as sandpaper! But why is the lions tongue so rough and how is this beneficial? The reason for its roughness is that the surface of the lions tongue is covered in many tiny spines called papillae, which are further divided into 3 types namely; Filiform, Fungiform and Vallate papillae. The cats filiform papillae which is located on the tongues dorsal surface, is the main reason for the roughness, and these can also be compared to barbs since they face backwards in the direction of the throat.  Having a barbed tongue is beneficial to the lion for a number of reasons.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
