Itinerary

Day 1

Nairobi/Tsavo West National Park

We will depart by road for Tsavo West National Park. We'll arrive in time for lunch then have 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 litres of cool crystal clear water flows out of the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The water is believed to originate from Chuyulu Hills, via an underground river.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at your lodge.

Day 2

Tsavo West National Park

After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. Other 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 mbuzi mawe(mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 3

Tsavo West National Park/Amboseli National Park

Early in the morning, you'll start the drive to Amboseli National Park. On arrival, check in at your accommodation and day spent at leisure. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed 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.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at your lodge.

Day 4

Amboseli National park

You'll rise up early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit with packed lunch provided. An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast. The visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their 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 must form the highlights of any safari.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 5

Amboseli National Park/Nairobi

You'll have an early morning game drive then return to your accommodation for breakfast. After breakfast, depart to Nairobi. You'll be transferred to a hotel or the airport.
