Land of Giants

(Approx. 240 km, 4-5 hrs by road)

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), you will be warmly welcomed by our professional safari representative and introduced to your driver-guide, who will accompany you throughout your safari journey. Depart Nairobi and travel south through the scenic Kenyan countryside, passing through Emali and the vast open plains that stretch toward the Tanzanian border.

As you approach Amboseli National Park, the majestic peak of Mount Kilimanjaro begins to emerge on the horizon, creating a spectacular backdrop for your arrival. Proceed to Sentrim Amboseli Camp, where you will arrive in time for lunch and settle into your comfortable accommodation surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the Amboseli wilderness.

After lunch, enjoy some time at leisure to relax and unwind at the camp.

Land of Giants

Rise early to the golden dawn over Amboseli National Park, when the savannah comes alive and wildlife is most active. After a hearty breakfast at Sentrim Amboseli Camp, set out on a morning game drive through the park's diverse landscapes, including open plains, acacia woodlands, and lush wetlands.

Amboseli is renowned for its large herds of free-roaming elephants, often seen moving gracefully across the grasslands with the magnificent backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Keep watch for giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, and a variety of bird species, while predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas may also be spotted during the drive.

Return to Sentrim Amboseli Camp around midday for lunch and a relaxing break. Enjoy some leisure time at the camp, perhaps taking a refreshing swim or simply unwinding amid the peaceful surroundings of the Amboseli wilderness.

Later in the afternoon, head out for another game drive as the golden light transforms the savannah. As the sun sets, return to camp for a delicious dinner and a relaxing evening, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

Wilderness & Volcanic Wonders

(Approx. 200 km, 4-5 hrs by road)

After an early breakfast at Sentrim Amboseli Camp, bid farewell to the magnificent landscapes of Amboseli and set off toward Tsavo West National Park. Enjoy the final views of the open plains before the scenery gradually changes to farmlands, small towns, and rugged wilderness.

As you approach Tsavo West, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic, with striking black lava flows stretching across the terrain - remnants of past volcanic activity that create a fascinating contrast with the surrounding vegetation. Continue into the park and arrive at Sentrim Tsavo Lodge in time for lunch.

After lunch, embark on an afternoon game drive through Tsavo West's diverse terrain of rolling hills, open plains, and woodland. A highlight of the day is a visit to Mzima Springs, a series of crystal-clear pools fed by underground waters from the surrounding volcanic highlands. The springs provide an excellent opportunity to observe hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of birdlife.

Later, return to Sentrim Tsavo Lodge to check in and relax after a day of exploration. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and take in the views of the African wilderness before settling down for a delicious dinner and a restful evening.

Into the Taita Hills Wilderness

(Approx. 100 km, 2-3 hrs by road)

After breakfast at Sentrim Tsavo Lodge, check out and depart Tsavo West National Park for the scenic journey toward the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. Enjoy the changing scenery as the rugged, volcanic landscapes of Tsavo gradually give way to the rolling hills, woodland, and open grasslands of the Taita region. The air grows cooler and the horizon softer as you climb into the hills.

Arrive at Salt Lick Safari Lodge in time for lunch and check in to your unique accommodation overlooking the wildlife-rich sanctuary. The lodge is one of Kenya's most iconic - elevated on stilts, with each circular room facing a central waterhole where elephants, buffalo, zebra, and antelope gather throughout the day. After lunch, take some time to relax and enjoy the lodge's spectacular setting, with opportunities to observe wildlife around the nearby waterholes from the comfort of your balcony or the viewing decks.

In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. Explore the sanctuary's scenic grasslands and wooded areas in search of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and other wildlife. With some luck, you may also encounter predators such as lions and leopards, while the sanctuary's diverse birdlife adds to the experience - kingfishers, hornbills, and raptors are just a few of the species that call this wilderness home.

As the afternoon progresses, enjoy the beautiful scenery and golden light across the Taita Hills before returning to Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Relax and take in the peaceful surroundings - perhaps venture into the unique underground tunnel hide, where glass-fronted windows allow you to watch elephants drinking at arm's length. As dusk falls, enjoy dinner and an evening surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

The Red Dust Plains

Rise early to the golden dawn over Tsavo East National Park, when the savannah awakens and wildlife is most active. After a hearty breakfast at Voi Wildlife Lodge, set out on a morning game drive to explore the vast and rugged landscapes of this iconic wilderness, characterised by open plains, seasonal rivers, rocky outcrops, and the distinctive red soil for which Tsavo is famous.

Tsavo East is renowned for its large herds of red elephants, often seen crossing the plains or gathering around water sources. During the game drive, keep watch for giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, and other wildlife, while predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards may also be encountered. The park's diverse landscapes provide a spectacular setting for wildlife viewing and photography - follow the Galana River, where hippos and crocodiles lurk along the muddy banks, and watch for the rare gerenuk and Beisa oryx.

Return to Voi Wildlife Lodge around midday for a delicious lunch and a relaxing break. The lodge overlooks a busy waterhole where elephants, buffalo, and antelope gather to drink, offering spectacular wildlife viewing right from the property. Spend the afternoon at leisure, perhaps enjoying the lodge's facilities, taking a refreshing swim, or simply unwinding while taking in the peaceful surroundings of the Tsavo wilderness.

Later in the afternoon, head out for an evening game drive as the golden sunlight illuminates the red-earth plains. As the sun begins to set, return to Voi Wildlife Lodge for dinner and a relaxing evening beneath the African sky, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
