0700 am. Get picked up at your Nairobi hotel/ airport where we’ll start off this African safari tour with a journey to Amboseli National Park.
Few parks can guarantee sightings of a particular animal – not so at Amboseli. This is the best spot to see free-ranging elephants up close… guaranteed. Framing these regal creatures is the towering backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. You’ll enjoy Africa’s best views of its snowy peak, weather permitting, in the early morning and late afternoon.

The vegetation can be sparse at Amboseli, but that only offers more opportunities to spot other wildlife in the park like buffalo, wildebeest, impala, hyena, giraffe and zebra. And you have a good chance of seeing lion and cheetah.

If birdlife is your fancy, at the park’s marshes and lakes, you’ll be treated to a rich avian display of pelicans, kingfishers, egrets, herons and more.
After a full day of game drives, you’ll have dinner at your Amboseli Safari lodge or tented safari camp.

We’ll head out early for another game drive. This will be an ideal time to view Kilimanjaro. If the clouds cooperate, you’ll see the snowy peak of the tallest mountain in Africa.

While at Amboseli, if you choose, you can enjoy an optional visit to a nearby Masai Village, where you can meet these indigenous people and learn about their culture. There will be opportunities to purchase handcrafted jewelry as well.

Then we’re off to the second park of your holiday – Tsavo East. We’ll use this time well since our trip to Tsavo will also be a game drive!

Arriving at our second lodge we’ll freshen up and enjoy lunch. Then we’ll head out on the park’s grasslands to “catch” more wildlife. You may see black rhino, Cape buffalo, leopard and lion.

There’s a good chance you’ll be treated to the sight of Tsavo’s famous red-dust elephants, coated red by the dust baths they take in the brick red earth.

Tonight, we’ll rest up for gamer viewing in Tsavo tomorrow.

As promised, we’ll be up early for a pre-breakfast game drive to watch the park’s many wild inhabitants arise for the day.

Breakfast is followed by another safari, and we may visit Aruba Dam, an active watering hole attracting great numbers of wildlife.

And then it’s time to leave the park. The train station at Voi is close-by. There your guide will assist you with tickets and transfer to the Madaraka Express, the new high-speed train to Mombasa and the coast.

Your first-class ticket is included with the tour, so enjoy the comfort of your air-conditioned compartment as you travel through sections of Tsavo East. The train route is positioned higher than the roadway and offers an elevated view. With its large windows you’ll enjoy wonderful vistas of the passing landscapes.

There’s also a buffet car for drinks and snacks, and clean restrooms for your convenience. In a little less than two hours you’ll arrive at the state-of-the-art train station in Mombasa.

Transfer to your hotel or resort is also included – we’ll pick you up and bring you to your local hotel or resorts in Malindi, Watamu, Diani, Mombasa and Kilifi beach.
