Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park
Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park
Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel at 6:30am in the early morning. We 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 check in at our accommodation for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then head for an exciting game viewing trip in the late 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 favorite haunt for sunbathing Crocodiles.

Day 2
Tsavo East National Park - Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo East National Park - Tsavo West National Park
After an exciting early morning game drive, we enjoy a full breakfast at our accommodation before we head to Tsavo West National Park. When we travel west, Tsavo shows us a different face. The landscape is much more hilly; numerous volcanic craters rise from the plains. Fields of lava remind us of long-ago eruptions. The fauna of Tsavo West is very rich, besides the Big Five the park is home to further numerous species. Given the rich vegetation, the animals can be tricky to spot at times. This should not discourage you, but in fact can make your Safari experience even more exciting. The reward is worth the extra patience!
After a delicious lunch, we visit the park's Rhino Sanctuary where Tsavo’s growing population of endangered Black Rhino is inching its way back from the chasm of extinction. Later, we start out on a game drive where we see Buffaloes, Elephants, Lions, Cheetahs, Giraffes and many more species. As the sun sets, we head back to our lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 3
Tsavo West National Park - Amboseli National Park
Tsavo West National Park - Amboseli National Park
After a good night’s sleep, we enjoy a comfortable breakfast and continue our journey towards magical Amboseli National Park. On our way to Mzima Springs, where Hippos and Crocodiles can be watched from the safety of an underwater hide, we 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.
On a clear we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach Amboseli. Upon entering, we enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch and an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of Elephants – 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.

After a night of relaxing sleep, we wake up early for a morning game drive, then return to our accommodation for breakfast, then depart Amboseli in direction of the Ziwani Wildlife Sanctuary (Voyager Ziwani). We arrive in good time for lunch and find time for a comfortable siesta. The sanctuary is located in Tsavo West National Park and lies in close proximity to a lake, where we can observe Hippos and Crocodiles against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
So far we have marveled at Kenya’s countless wonders from inside our Safari Van, now it’s time to get even closer! After lunch, we gather for an escorted game walk! You have read correctly: led by an experienced guide, we explore the area by foot! A rather unique experience! Still excited from this trip into the wilderness, we enjoy dinner, then head off for the day’s final game drive. In the evening hours, we have good chances of spotting grazing Hippos and all kinds of nocturnal game.
