3 Days Tsavo West & Amboseli/Kilimanjaro Safari

We’ll be up early to take in the wondrous African sunrise as the land and the animals come to life. This is a special time in the park when the air is cool and still, reflecting the first light of the day. One of the great surprises of Tsavo West is Mzima Springs, a naturally fed oasis brimming with wildlife, exotic fish, crocodile, hippo, and birds. We can leave our 4 x 4 Jeep for a guided walk along the green shores, taking in this idyllic landscape. Then it’s a relatively short drive to Amboseli Park. Mt. Kilimanjaro will be your beacon, guiding you to the reserve and its busy world of wildlife. You’re guaranteed to spot herds of free-ranging elephants trooping past, with stately Kilimanjaro framing their progress. With its sparse foliage, Amboseli is known to be an easy reserve for wildlife spotting and you’ll be busy with your guide, checking off the various hunters and grazers you see. This park is a photographer’s dream so be ready to capture dozens of striking memories. Toward evening, the clouds covering Kilimanjaro’s peak may disperse giving us memorable views of the mountain’s snow-capped summit. Overnight Our second night will be spent at Amboseli at the safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.

There are lots of reasons to rise with the sun at Amboseli and one of them is the chance to get an early morning view of Kilimanjaro’s snowy summit. Weather permitting we’ll have a perfect view of this legendary African landmark. Even as we enjoy breakfast at our accommodation, there will be dramatic vistas all around us, an incredible way to begin the day. We’ll head out for another mid-morning game drive to look for elephant, lion and whoever else may cross our path. Later, when it’s time to exit the park, we’ll take in one last safari, and perhaps add a few more animals to our list. Soon, we’ll be back on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, headed to Nairobi. Drop off Back in Nairobi, we’ll drop you off at your hotel, residence or the airport.
