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.

Tsavo East National Park - Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
On our second day of safari adventure, we start the new day with a cup of energizing coffee or tea and start out for an early morning game drive. At this early time of the day, we have good chances of spotting the Big Cats of Tsavo. After arriving back to the lodge, we enjoy our main breakfast and then head off to a final game drive en-route in Tsavo East.
We then depart to Taita Hills (Salt Lick), driving for a distance of approx. 80 Kilometers. After our arrival in the early afternoon, we enjoy lunch at the Taita Hills Lodge, then depart to the Sarova Salt Lick Lodge, where we can observe animals at the water hole right next to us. Later, we find ourselves hunting for more adventures in an afternoon game drive. Taita Hills is rich in physical attractions, including thorny bush lands, acacia forests, arid areas, savannah and swamps. Animals found here include Elephants, Lions, Cheetahs, Zebras, Giraffes, and different types of birds such as Ostriches, Guinea Fowls, and Weaver Birds.

Day 3
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary - Amboseli National Park
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary - Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, we depart for Amboseli National Park, passing through Maasai land. On a clear day, we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach the park. Upon entering, we enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then we set out for a 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.
Cheetahs, Buffaloes, Giraffes, different types of Gazelle and rich plains game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down on Amboseli National Park, we return to our accommodation for dinner.

Day 4
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
We spend a whole day in Amboseli National Park, with marvelous morning and afternoon game drives. This park is a genuine paradise for all sorts of stunning wildlife. Amboseli is Big Game Country. With a bit of luck, we come face-to-face with all of the BIG Five here. Mount Kilimanjaro provides the background scenery for our adventures in Amboseli. Anyone will agree it’s a one-of-a-kind experience to witness the exact moment in which the mountain emerges from the cloud layers into bursting sunshine. Kilimanjaro dominates the landscape from every perspective, dwarfing even the park's huge Elephants. Amboseli is a must-see and even experienced Safari adventurers enjoy returning here - stunningly beautiful wildlife against the background of Africa's highest mountain is a picture no one gets ever tired of.
We can also decide to visit a Maasai Village close-by and learn about the proud tribe's rich culture and practices (optional, at an extra cost).

Day 5
Amboseli National Park - Lake Nakuru National Park
Amboseli National Park - Lake Nakuru National Park
After a good night’s sleep, we rise from bed early for breakfast. Then we depart Amboseli NP for Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving in good time for a delicious lunch at our lodge. "Lake in pink" is probably the best way to describe Lake Nakuru. Up to two million Flamingos nest around its shores, giving the lake its rather fancy colour. Sometimes the birds are present in such numbers that the lake's surface cannot be seen!
The lake is home to more than 450 species of birds. There are no Elephants in the park, but in a spectacular afternoon game drive we can spot the other members of the Big Five, including tree-climbing Lions. Special attention is paid to a conservation area for White and Black Rhino. Towards the east of the lake, we take a look at Africa's biggest Euphorbia forest, tall, cactus-like trees which are not only visually appealing, but are also providing a unique habitat for the park’s wildlife.
