Tour Plan
Meal : Lunch & Dinner
The safari begins with a pick-up at your beach hotel or resort. We’ll take the scenic Mombasa – Nairobi Highway, viewing farmlands and Kenya countryside along the way.
Safari
Entering Tsavo West you’ll be struck by its vast savannah and rolling hills. But what you might not expect are the forms of recent lava beds punctuating the park. You’ll find other volcanic remnants such as cinder cones in this legendary reserve, as well as lush spring-fed oases.
The wildlife here is varied and unexpected. Not only will we be on the lookout for the “Big Five” but we may also see ostrich, monkey, baboon, and aquatic creatures.
After a break for lunch, we’ll try our luck spotting for black rhino in the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary on the grounds of the park. There are over 80 of these shy and endangered creatures roaming the protected enclosure.

Dinner and overnight at the safari lodge of your choice
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Safari
We’ll be visiting two national parks today, so we’ll be up early and launch our adventure with a pre-breakfast game drive. Heading out in our Jeep we’ll be looking for wildlife emerging into the dawn.
After a satisfying breakfast, we’ll venture out again, this time headed for Mzima Springs. This oasis is a cool, shaded contrast to the rugged terrain of the park. Here, by the spring-fed waters we’ll look for crocodile, hippo, bright birdlife and fish. And we won’t be the only visitors as much of the park’s wildlife is drawn to the life-sustaining waters here.
We’ll enjoy a final game drive at Tsavo West, as we exit the reserve on the short drive to Amboseli National Park. Look for the imposing form of Mt. Kilimanjaro that stands sentinel over this small but active park.
Amboseli is known for its elephants, and you will see them here, foraging and parading in grand form to and from the local watering holes.
With Kilimanjaro forming a majestic backdrop for the stream of wildlife marching before it, Amboseli is one of the most photographed parks in the world.
Overnight
Overnight at the safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.
Meal Plan: Breakfast & Lunch
It’s an early rise again, and hopefully, the clouds will break at the peak of Kilimanjaro, revealing its snowy crown. Dining at your camp or lodge before a delicious safari breakfast, you can take in the splendor of Africa’s largest peak overlooking the park.
We’ll enjoy one final game drive in Amboseli again looking for the big game and the smaller forms of hyena, fox, monkey and baboon. The park is a virtual city of wildlife. But now we’re off, heading back to the Kenya coast.
Drop off
We should arrive at your Diani/Mombasa/Bamburi Beach Hotel or resort in the late afternoon.
