5 Day Safari to Tsavo West and Amboseli

We depart by road to Tsavo West National Park, arriving in time for lunch. In the afternoon, you can enjoy an optional game drive, either in the afternoon or evening. Tsavo West is the most popular part of Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions in addition to its diverse wildlife. One of the highlights is the famous Mzima Spring, where 227.3 million liters of fresh, crystal-clear water flow from the ground through porous volcanic rocks. It is believed that this water originates in the Chyulu Hills and travels underground. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, we embark on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. Key attractions include the Roaring Rocks, named after the winds that gust across them, offering breathtaking views of Tsavo from a 98-meter-high cliff. Similar panoramic views can be enjoyed from Poacher's Lookout. Another interesting site is the Chaimu volcanic crater, less than 200 years old and composed of black lava rocks, which can be climbed for those who wish. The area is a prime spot for spotting the klipspringer, a small, agile antelope whose Swahili name, mbuzi mawe (mountain goat), reflects its agility. Southwest of Tsavo West, Lake Jipe straddles the Kenya-Tanzania border. After exploring, return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Start your day early with a drive to Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation and enjoy the rest of the day to relax. Amboseli, located south of Nairobi, is dominated by an ancient dry lakebed surrounded by fragile grasslands and patches of acacia forest. The southern part of the park features small, rocky volcanic hills, while the Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok swamps feature lush vegetation with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.

Wake up early to enjoy the best views of Kilimanjaro before the summit is covered in clouds, followed by breakfast and packed lunch. You can also opt to visit a Maasai village, where you can experience their traditional songs, dances, and sacred rituals. Visiting their homes offers a unique insight into their social structure and daily life. Despite its varied habitats, Amboseli is one of the best places in Africa to observe elephants up close, especially as they feed and bathe in the marshes, safe from the threat of poaching. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.

After a morning game drive, return to your accommodation for breakfast. After breakfast, you will be transferred to your hotel or Nairobi Airport.
