TOUR DURATION: 4 NIGHTS
h Amboseli: 2 nights
h Tsavo West: 2 nights
DAY 1 h On arrival in Nairobi,
depart south-west straight for
Amboseli National Park at the foot
of snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro.
Arrive at the Amboseli Serena
Safari Lodge in time for lunch.
After refuelling and refreshing,
enjoy an afternoon game drive in
Amboseli National Park, known
for its unrivalled dramatic views
of ‘Kili,’ (weather permitting)
and also renowned for the local
elephant population. There are
over 1000 elephants in the park
eco system, including some of
the largest in Africa. Perhaps
catch sight of buffalos, lions and
hippo in the open savannah and
swamplands. Return to the lodge
for dinner and a two night stay.
DAY 2 h Early morning, midmorning
and afternoon game
drives in Amboseli’s often arid
plains. You will hopefully see
buffalo and some of the big cats,
with plenty of time to also enjoy
the facilities at the lodge. Relax by
the pool, enjoy one of the resident
naturalist’s talks, or to simply soak
up the sights and sounds of Africa.
It features a fabulous terrace from
which you can witness spectacular
African sunsets and a waterhole
that offers some of the finest
lodge based game viewing in
Kenya. Take an afternoon game
drive in this rugged wilderness
and return for dinner and a two
night stay.
DAY 4 h Enjoy three game drives in
the historical Tsavo West National
Park famed for its red elephants,
so coloured by the soil they cover
themselves in! One of today’s
drives will also include a visit to
Mzima Springs - a vibrant oasis of
natural springs and crystal clear
pools forming an important part
of the ecosystem and frequented
by hippo and crocodile.
DAY 5 h Depart Tsavo after
breakfast. We highly recommend
that you extend your stay on the
white sands of Kenya’s coast – the
ideal relaxing beach stay to add on
to your safari. Please see details
of our Mombasa extension below.
Alternatively, return to Mombasa
for your onward journey (to avoid
what may be a long wait for your
flight at Mombasa airport, a
private road transfer to Nairobi
airport can be arranged at extra
cost - please call for details).
