6-Day Amboseli and Tsavo Safari with Taita Hills and Mzima Springs

Leave Nairobi behind and head south across the open plains towards Amboseli National Park, stopping for lunch along the way. Arrive in the afternoon and head straight out on a game drive, where elephants wander the swamps and Kilimanjaro rises on the horizon. Look out for buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and a dazzling variety of birdlife as the light softens. Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and a night beneath a blanket of stars.

Wake early to catch Amboseli at its dreamiest, when Kilimanjaro often stands clear of cloud and elephants stroll through the soft morning light. Enjoy a morning game drive among the park's famous herds, then return to camp for lunch and a rest. In the afternoon, head out again as the swamps come alive with wildlife. Dinner and a second night in Amboseli.

After a final morning game drive in Amboseli, depart for Tsavo West National Park, a wild landscape of rugged hills, open savannah, and volcanic scenery. Stop for lunch en route, then enjoy an afternoon game drive in search of lions, elephants, buffalo, and plains game. Settle in for dinner and an overnight stay in Tsavo West.

Begin the day exploring the natural wonders of Tsavo West. Stroll beside the crystal-clear pools of Mzima Springs, where hippos and fish drift beneath the surface, then see the dramatic Shetani lava flows, a black river of rock frozen in time. After lunch, continue to the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and head out on an afternoon game drive across its sweeping plains. Dinner and an overnight stay in the Taita Hills.

After an early morning game drive in the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, enjoy breakfast and drive on to Tsavo East National Park, one of Kenya's largest and wildest parks. Arrive in time for lunch, then set out on an afternoon game drive across the vast, red-soil plains, where elephants dusted in rust-coloured earth roam beside lions, buffalo, giraffe, and gerenuk. Dinner and a night in Tsavo East.

Rise early for a final game drive in Tsavo East, when the park is at its most atmospheric and wildlife is most active. Enjoy breakfast, then say goodbye to the bush and drive to Mombasa, stopping for lunch along the way. You will be dropped off at the Mombasa SGR terminus in time for your onward journey, bringing your 6-day Tsavo and Amboseli safari to a close.
