0700 am. We’ll collect you at your Nairobi hotel or Nairobi airport early in the morning and start our safari drive to Amboseli National Park (an approximate of 3 - 4 hours to main gate). Amboseli National Park remains famous due to its scenery with a backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, which dominates the landscape, and open plains for the vast herds of free-ranging elephants you’ll see throughout the park. Keep an eye out for other big game like lion, leopard and Maasai giraffe as well.

The climate here is mild and dry, perfect for game drives, birding or just relaxing at your lodge or tented campground.

If you’d like to do a little more exploring, ask your guide about taking a visit to a local Maasai village. There you can meet the villagers, learn about their culture and perhaps purchase some bright beaded jewelry – a lovely souvenir of your trip.

Overnight at your Amboseli safari lodge or tented safari camp.

Day 2 of our African holiday vacation and we’ll rise up for early morning game drives returning to your safari lodge/ tented safari camp for breakfast, afterwards leave Amboseli National Park for Tsavo West National Park.

The look of the land is different here at Tsavo West National Park – varying between savannah, volcanic lava beds, wild ancient baobab trees and lush green oases.

Besides the larger game of lion, buffalo and giraffe, you’ll be treated to sights of smaller neighbors like bush baby, dik-dik, hartebeest and impala. Also, lots of monkeys scampering through the acacia trees amongst their distant cousins – yellow baboons!

You may also spot rhinos at the special enclave here. More than 80 live in this unique environment, called the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.

After a full day of game drives, you’ll be ready to freshen up, relax and enjoy dinner at your Tsavo safari lodge/ tented safari camp.

Today our Kenyan holiday tour begins with an early morning breakfast and a game drive, heading toward Mzima Springs. As we pass from the dry plains to the sudden green vegetation of the springs, you may be startled by the dramatic shift in landscape and wildlife.

This cool watering hole presents a new cast of wildlife – hippo, crocodile and lots and lots of birds – skimmers, goshawks, ostriches, kingfishers, herons and more. This park never fails to amaze, but now it’s time to head to our next adventure, Tsavo East National Park, the place where the historical man eating lions come from.

As we traverse from park to park, you’ll have more opportunities for game watching.

This park is big – Kenya’s largest. And the red-dust soil lining the plains here is unique, not just in appearance but in how the inhabitants use it. The elephants love to roll in the soil, creating a dusky red coat on their hides. You’ll notice this colourful addition as you see them lumbering along.

Be sure to visit the Aruba Dam situated on the Voi River. This attractive man-made structure is a draw for the park’s wildlife, which take sustenance from its waters. It’s also a wonderful viewing spot for you.

Later dinner and overnight at your chosen Kenya safari lodge/camp.

Your last day of this African safari trip!

Early morning game viewing drives at the Tsavo East national park.

On our final safari day, we’ll take an early morning game drive. Then we’ll enjoy one last safari breakfast before we depart the park. As we head to the nearby train station at Voi, you’ll have more opportunities for game watching.

But please know on your upcoming train journey, you’ll be passing through more of Tsavo East Park for additional vistas and possibly wildlife viewing.
