Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park
Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park
Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel at 6:30 am in the early morning. We'll then start off together to Tsavo East National Park, where we arrive in time for a spectacular morning game drive with chances to spot red elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos, giraffes, gazelles, waterbucks, leopards, zebras and an abundance of bird species. Game spotting in Tsavo East is usually fast and easy. After the morning game drive, we'll check-in at our accommodation for lunch. We will have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then head for an exciting game viewing trip late in the afternoon.
There are many fascinating aspects to observe in the open areas of Tsavo East, such as the Yatta Plateau, one of the world’s longest lava flows. An additional attraction is the Athi River flanked by stately Doum palms which, near the Manyani gate, forms the Lugard Falls, a long stretch of rippling white water cataracts and a favourite haunt for sunbathing crocodiles.

Day 2
Tsavo East National Park - Amboseli National Park
Tsavo East National Park - Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, we'll leave Tsavo East behind us and head for Amboseli National Park (254 kilometers distance, approximately 4 hours drive). On a clear day, we'll marvel at the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach the park. Upon entering, we'll enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch. We will have time to relax, then we will set out for a game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of elephants and you’ll often find plenty of them standing knee-deep in the water, spraying water, eating and bathing in the swamps to cool off. Predators stalk the herds of grazing animals, recreating the age-old drama of life and death under the African sun, in a setting so lushly beautiful.
Cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, different types of gazelles and rich plains game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down in Amboseli National Park, we will return to our accommodation for dinner.

Day 3
Amboseli National Park - Tsavo West National Park
Amboseli National Park - Tsavo West National Park
On our third day of safari adventures, we will greet the new day with a spectacular morning game drive right at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Later, we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast, before departing to Tsavo West National Park. On our way to Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles can be watched from the safety of an underwater hide, we'll pass the impressive Shetani Lava Flow (“shetani” means “devil” in Swahili). When the lava erupted some few hundred years ago, the locals thought that the devil himself was emerging from the earth. After returning from our adventure, we will check-in at our lodge and comfortably take lunch. We will have time to relax until 4:00 pm, then head off for a visit to the park’s Rhino Sanctuary. We will spot elephants, giraffes, an abundance of bird species and, of course, the endangered black rhinos. All against the backdrop of Tsavo West’s beautiful hilly landscape.

Day 4
Tsavo West National Park - Mombasa
Tsavo West National Park - Mombasa
What is better than starting a new day in paradise by setting out for more safari adventures on breathtaking game viewing trips? The last game drive in Tsavo West reveals more of the park's beauty. Hilly bushlands, dense vegetation and an astonishing richness of wildlife. Remember to keep a sharp lookout. You may witness a dramatic hunt, a solitary Leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree, or a herd of elephants protecting their young from predators. Given the rich vegetation, the animals can be tricky to spot at times. This should not discourage you, in fact, it can make your safari experience even more exciting. The reward is worth the extra patience!
We'll later enjoy a delicious breakfast at our accommodation, then go for a game drive en-route Voi Town for lunch. Then we will drive towards Mombasa, where we safely arrive at your hotel late in the afternoon. Your safari ends here, but you return home with the memories of a lifetime—that much is certain!
