5 DAYS AMBOSELI/TSAVO WEST & EAST SAFARI
Explore Tours
Tsavo West sets the tone for this five-day journey—a land of volcanic hills, crystalline springs, and the kind of raw beauty that stays with you. From there, the safari unfolds across two other iconic landscapes: Amboseli, where Kilimanjaro towers over herds of giant-tusked elephants, and Tsavo East, whose red-earth plains stretch toward the horizon with dust-covered elephants moving in slow procession.
You’ll wander through the underground hide at Mzima Springs, watching hippos glide through clear water. You’ll track lions and leopards across lava flows. And you’ll have time in each park to simply sit with the silence and the space. It’s a circuit that captures the wild soul of southern Kenya—with Tsavo West as its dramatic, rugged heart.

After pick up from the airport or hotel, depart for Amboseli National Park, a drive of about 3-4hours. You will start to taste the real Africa on the rustic road to Amboseli National Park. This Park, located on the Tanzanian border, is considered the best place to see free-ranging elephants in all of Africa. You will also see plenty of giraffes, lions, and cheetahs in a variety of habitats including marshes, plains, woodlands and more.

We will start the day before sunrise to enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Kilimanjaro and set off for another extensive game drive before the clouds build up over the summit. Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and is snow-capped at the peaks. The majesty of this tropical mountain makes Amboseli an ideal photographer’s haven by offering a spectacular background for wildlife and scenic photography. Herds of elephants inhabit this swampy park together with lions, cheetah, buffalo, warthog, rhino and different species of antelopes. The Park is also a home of interesting bird species.
