0730 am. Your driver guide will pick you up at your Nairobi hotel/ airport where we’ll start off our African safari holiday to Amboseli National Park.

Amboseli National Park is not a large park but is still considered the land of the giants. These giants are the immense herds of elephants that inhabit its plains. Amboseli is famous for being the best spot in Africa for viewing free-ranging elephants up close. Their numbers are so concentrated here you’re guaranteed sightings of the magnificent creatures.

Great herds roam its plains in the morning and evening. And you’re sure to see them during the day, foraging in the marshes. But you’re certain to have sightings of other wildlife as well. The park holds good-sized populations of lion, leopard, wildebeest, zebra, buffalo and gazelle.

Don’t be surprised to spot plenty of smaller mammals on your game drives – foxes, jackals, monkeys and yellow baboons!

You’ll enjoy dinner here and stay overnight at an Amboseli accommodation of your choice.

After breakfast we’ll continue our adventure with another game drive and perhaps (weather permitting) sightings of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. This towering massif is a stunning backdrop to the wildlife in the park – a gift to visitors and photographers alike.

We will also venture up to the vantage point of Observation Hill for views of the park’s plains, marshes and the wildlife inhabiting them.

If you’d like to learn about the local Maasai people, we offer an optional visit to a nearby village where you can meet them, learn about their unique herding culture, and perhaps purchase some of their colourful crafts.

Now it’s time to move on to our other park, Tsavo West.

There are so many pleasing aspects to this famous park – the variety of landscapes, the colours of desert and sky, and the many species of animals roaming its hills and oases.

Early morning game viewing drive as you exit Tsavo West national park.

We’ll begin your third day of animal viewing with another game drive as we leave the park. But your safari is not over yet. It’s a quick drive to the train station at Mtito Andei. 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 both Tsavo West and East parks. The train’s route is positioned higher than the roadway and offers an elevated view of the parks. And with its large windows you’ll enjoy wonderful vistas of the passing landscapes.

There’s also a buffet car for drinks and snacks, and a clean restroom for your convenience. In just under 3 hours you’ll arrive at the state-of-the-art train station in Mombasa.
