National Parks in Watamu means two parks with different clocks. Watamu Marine National Park is the reef in front of the beach. Tsavo East is the inland day or overnight.
The marine park is snorkelling, fees often extra, a few hours. Tsavo is elephants on red soil, about eleven hours if you go and come back the same day, from about $200, or two and three days if you stay out. There is no third park in town. Arabuko Sokoke forest is the backdrop, not a game drive.
Packages that match National Parks in Watamu: Day Trip — Tsavo East National Park, Full-Day Safari Blue with Snorkelling and Dolphins, Mida Creek Safari Blue. Ask which park or marine fees sit outside the starting price.
A full day from the north coast into Tsavo East, the dry park tied to the man-eaters of Tsavo. Plan on eleven to twelve hours, with elephants more reliable than any cat.
