Overview

Itinerary Details

Day-by-Day


Day 1 Pick Up from Nairobi and Transfer to Tsavo West National Park

We depart by road for Tsavo West National Park, arriving in time for lunch and then an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions apart from its wildlife. The foremost is the famous Mzima Springs, where up to 227.3 million litres of cool, crystal-clear water flows out of the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The water is believed to originate from Chuyulu Hills via an underground river. Return for dinner and your overnight stay.


Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options or downgraded to more economical ones (price reduction).

Day 2 Full-Day Game Drive in Tsavo West National Park

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. Other interesting places to visit are the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them. There are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be experienced from the Poacher's Lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater, less than 200 years old and composed of black coke, is worth visiting and can be climbed if interested. The area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope as agile as its Swahili name mbuzi mawe (mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, with the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 3 Transfer from Tsavo West to Amboseli National Park

Have an early start and drive to Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, check in at your accommodation and spend the day at leisure. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area, there are several small rocky volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 4 Game Drive in Amboseli National Park

Rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit, with a packed lunch. After breakfast, an optional visit to a Maasai village can be arranged. The visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.


Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps form the highlights of any safari. Return for dinner and your overnight stay.
