Two exciting and adventurous days await you. You will visit the release station as often as possible. You will drive to the release station early in the morning at around 5.45 a.m. At this time, it is time to feed the elephants together with your animal keepers. After two intense hours, you go back to camp. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before you go to the mud hole at around 10:30 a.m., where up to 100 young elephants gather. Some keep coming back years after being released into the wild. It is precisely here that you gain unforgettable memories.
Return for lunch around 1:00 PM. The afternoon is available for relaxation. The last visit of the day to the elephants takes place at 5.30 p.m. The elephants are slowly coming back from nature to the gates.

On this day you go to the elephants again. Say goodbye to this special place and proceed to Lions Bluff Lodge in Lumo Conservancy after breakfast. This private sanctuary is home to large herds of wild elephants which are particularly protected here. The sanctuary lies between Tsavo West and Tsavo East and offers elephants a walking corridor between the parks. This protected area has over 4,000 members who all benefit from tourism and therefore have an increased interest in animal welfare. A fine example of a peaceful coexistence between humans and animals. In addition to the elephants, a lot of other animals can also be observed here. Dinner and overnight at Leopards Lair.
