Nairobi to Tsavo West

Depart by road for Tsavo West National Park, arriving in time for lunch followed by an optional afternoon or evening game drive. As the most visited section of Tsavo, the park offers a variety of attractions beyond its wildlife. One of the highlights is the famous Mzima Springs, where millions of litres of cool, crystal-clear water flow daily through porous volcanic rocks. This water is believed to originate from the Chyulu Hills via an underground river. After your activities, return for dinner and an overnight stay.

Tsavo West National Park

After breakfast, set out for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. Explore some of the park’s unique highlights, including the Roaring Rocks, named for the wind that rushes through them, and offering sweeping views over Tsavo from a 98-meter rock face. Similar panoramic vistas can be enjoyed from Poacher’s Lookout. Visit the relatively young Chaimu Crater, formed less than 200 years ago from black volcanic rock, which can be climbed for those interested. This area is also ideal for spotting the agile klipspringer, a small antelope known in Swahili as *mbuzi mawe* (mountain goat). In the southwest corner lies Lake Jipe, straddling the Kenya-Tanzania border. Return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to more luxurious options or adjusted to more budget-friendly alternatives, with corresponding price changes.

Tsavo West to Amboseli

Begin with an early morning drive to Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, check in at your accommodation and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Located south of Nairobi, Amboseli is characterized by a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grasslands interspersed with acacia woodland. The southern region features small rocky volcanic hills, adding to the park’s diverse landscape. Around the swamps of Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok, the scenery becomes lush and vibrant, with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms creating a rich habitat for wildlife. Return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Amboseli National Park

Rise early to enjoy clear views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds gather over its summit, and set out with a packed lunch. After breakfast, you may opt to visit a Maasai village, where you’ll experience traditional singing and dancing that form part of daily life and cultural rituals. This visit also offers a meaningful glimpse into their homes and social structure. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park remains one of the best places in Africa to observe elephants up close. With minimal disturbance, large herds can be seen feeding and bathing in the swamps—an unforgettable safari highlight. Return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
