Available train to travel to Tsavo National Park from Nairobi.

There are three Madaraka express train (SGR) options that go through Voi which is one of the terminals used by visitors going to Tsavo East or Tsavo West National parks; the 8 am train, the 3 pm train, and the 10 pm train. As a way to ensure our customers enjoy the scenic views as they travel with the train, we advise our clients to travel with the 8 am train which takes approximately 4hr 30 minutes. This will ensure you arrive at midday which is a great time to head to the hotel for lunch before going out for the evening game drives. We mainly offer shared game drives with land cruisers but private safari options are available for a more personalized experience.
