Departure to the Volcanic Frontier

Your journey begins with a private drive from Nairobi into the wild heart of Tsavo West National Park. Arrive at the historic Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, the first lodge ever built inside a Kenyan national park, in time for a sumptuous lunch. From the dining deck, you can watch elephants and buffaloes congregate at the lodge’s private waterhole against the backdrop of the Chyulu Hills. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive to explore the volcanic landscapes and the vibrant birdlife of the region. Visit the Shetani Lava Flow, a massive expanse of folded black magma that offers a stark, beautiful contrast to the green savanna. Return to the lodge as the sun sets for an elegant dinner under the stars, followed by a quiet evening listening to the sounds of the African bush.

Exploring Mzima Springs and Rhino Sanctuary

Awake to the sight of Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear morning before heading to the famous Mzima Springs. This lush oasis is filtered through volcanic rocks, creating crystal-clear pools where hippos and crocodiles glide beneath the surface. You will explore the underwater viewing chamber for a unique perspective of the aquatic life. After a midday rest and lunch at the lodge, head out to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary. This protected area offers one of the best chances in Kenya to spot the elusive black rhino in its natural habitat. The rugged terrain of Tsavo West provides a dramatic setting for tracking these prehistoric giants alongside leopards and lions. Return to Kilaguni for a farewell dinner, enjoying the sophisticated atmosphere and the sight of wildlife at the waterhole at night.
