5 Days Kenya road safari exploring Tsavo East, Tsavo West & Amboseli from Nairobi

06:00 hrs.  Your driver/guide will pick up from your Nairobi area hotel, Nairobi airport or Nairobi area residence and head out in our 4 x 4 Jeep for Tsavo East.

We’ll take the Nairobi/Mombasa highway, stopping to stretch and get refreshments along the way. (pay direct)

Entering Tsavo East, you’ll appreciate the vast stretches of land and sky before you. It’s time to set out on our first game drive.

This is a rugged park with a rusty coloured soil the big elephants like to roll in. They may even entertain you marching by with their proud, red dusted coats.

We’ll head to our accommodation for lunch and perhaps some relaxing time. Then, it’s back into the 4 x 4 and more tracking of giraffe, impala and of course, lion.

As a final flourish to our first safari day, we’ll be treated to the first of several blazing African sunsets.

Tonight, we’ll spend the night in Tsavo East lodge/camp.

Welcome to safari life where we rise before the sun to watch the park come alive and head out on our first game drive. The park is peaceful at this time of day and we’ll be listening and looking for the first signs of emerging wildlife.

We’ll enjoy breakfast at our accommodation and take one more game drive as we depart for Tsavo West.

This next park is pleasing to the eye with its scenic hills and valleys, oases, and surprises like ancient baobab trees.

There’s plenty of the big game here like lion, cheetahs and leopards.

We’ll spend our second safari night at Tsavo West lodge/ camp.

We’ll be up with the birdsong and ready for the sights.

An early game drive brings us into the first rays of sunlight as it lights up the savannah and the park’s awakening inhabitants.

Let’s head over to one of Tsavo West’s treasures, Mzima Springs, a rich, green oasis. In this lush setting, we’ll find hippo, crocodile, exotic fish and birds. We can walk here, under the palm-fringed shores and take in the park’s other wildlife, attracted to these life-giving waters.

Now it’s time to take the short trip to Amboseli Park.

Just look for the sky-scraping peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro as our beacon to the park.

We’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch and perhaps some free time at our accommodation before heading out to discover the wilds of Amboseli.

There is a rich assortment of game to discover on these plains and we’ll be looking for all of Africa’s Big Five.

With Kilimanjaro posing in the background, you’ll be tempted to take lots of photos and why not? This what it’s all about.

Toward evening you may even get better views of the great mountain’s snow-encrusted peak as the cloud covering often burns away, revealing one of the world’s most enchanting sights.

We’ll spend two nights at Amboseli in a lodge/ camp.

We have prepared a full day of game drives at Amboseli to see the big game, especially the elephants.

The park is famous for being the best spot in Africa to spot the great herds as they march family-style to their Favorite watering holes. See how many you can count.

Observation Hill is a wonderful vantage point to observe the wildlife in the marshes below, like buffalo, hippo, pelican, and other waterfowl.

Along with your many game drives you can take advantage of an optional visit we offer to a nearby Masai Village. Meet the tribespeople and learn about their lifestyle up close. Your driver/guide can make all the arrangements.

We’ll spend your final night at Amboseli.

Let’s finish our safari with a bang… up before dawn as we enjoy our breakfast surrounded by the beauty of nature, check out Kilimanjaro to see if you can spot its snowy peak.

We’ll hop in the jeep for one final game drive and bid farewell to this wonderful park as we turn and head back to Nairobi.

We should arrive there at about 16:30 hrs. (4:30 pm).
