Nairobi to Tsavo West National Park
Nairobi to Tsavo West National Park
Our driver-guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Nairobi and depart for Tsavo West National Park. Arrive in time for lunch, then go an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions apart from its wildlife. The foremost is the famous Mzima Springs where up to 227.3 million liters of cool, crystal-clear water flows from the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The water is believed to originate from Chuyulu Hills, via an underground river. Head to Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive ahead, with a packed lunch included. Interesting places to visit are the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them. From here, there are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face (similar views can be experienced from the poacher's lookout). The volcanic Chaimu Crater, less than 200 years old and composed of black coke, is worth visiting and can be climbed if one is interested. The area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that's as agile as its Swahili name indicates "mbuzi mawe" (mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Head to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Tsavo West to Amboseli National Park
Tsavo West to Amboseli National Park
Have an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park, check in at your accommodation, and spend the day at leisure. Amboseli National Park is situated southeast of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lakebed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there is a number of small rocky volcanic hills. Around the swamps, Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Enjoy dinner and your overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 4
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
Rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit (packed lunch included). An optional visit to a Maasai village can be arranged after breakfast. The visit reveals the songs and dances that are part of the Masaai's daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps form the highlight of the safari. Enjoy dinner and overnight at your lodge.
