Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park – Land of Giants
Your safari begins with a journey south from Nairobi along the Nairobi–Mombasa highway, cutting across classic savannah landscapes. As you drive, you’ll pass vibrant rural scenes—colorful Maasai herders guiding their cattle, children waving from the roadside, and sun-scorched plains stretching to the horizon.

By midday, you’ll arrive at the legendary Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most photographed parks and home to the continent’s largest elephants with iconic tusks. After lunch and a short rest, you’ll head out for your first game drive.

Expect close-up views of elephants, zebras, wildebeests, lions, giraffes, and possibly cheetahs. Birdlife is rich too, from vibrant bee-eaters to regal eagles. If the skies are clear, you’ll witness a photographer’s dream—elephants backdropped by snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro.

Dinner and overnight at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, a luxurious retreat nestled inside the park.

Day 2: Full Day in Amboseli – Tracking Elephants & Soaking in Views
Wake up to the distant trumpeting of elephants and the calls of hornbills. Today is yours to fully explore Amboseli, a land where elephants roam freely through swampy plains and dusty savannah.

You may choose a full-day game drive with a packed lunch in the wild, or split the drives to enjoy more time at your lodge. Either way, don’t miss Observation Hill, which offers a panoramic view of the entire park—a perfect spot to appreciate Amboseli’s contrasting landscapes: wetlands, acacia woodlands, and arid plains.

Your guide is at your service to help tailor the day. You can also opt to visit a traditional Maasai village and learn about one of Kenya’s most fascinating cultures (optional, at extra cost).

Day 3: Amboseli to Tsavo West – Into the Lava Wilderness
After an early breakfast, you’ll head east into the wild and rugged Tsavo West National Park. This land of lava, springs, and legends is unlike any other. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife en route.

Once inside the park, you'll explore the Mzima Springs—a rare desert oasis where hippos and crocodiles lounge beneath crystal-clear waters. Marvel at the eerie Shetani Lava Flows, remnants of an ancient volcanic eruption, and take in the expansive views from Poacher’s Lookout.

Game viewing here offers a different flavor—rocky ridges, thick bushland, and dramatic sunsets cast a golden hue over elephants, lions, and leopards.

Lunch, afternoon game drive, dinner, and overnight at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, nestled deep within the park.

After breakfast, enjoy a scenic game drive as you exit Tsavo West and continue toward the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. This private sanctuary boasts a rich mix of wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and more than 390 bird species.

Your destination is the famed Salt Lick Safari Lodge, uniquely elevated on stilts overlooking floodlit waterholes. Watch wildlife from your room, the restaurant, or the bridge-like walkways connecting the lodge. As dusk falls, animals gather for their evening drink—an unforgettable spectacle under the stars.

In the afternoon, head out for a game drive and visit the nearby Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa, home to a small museum featuring World War I memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the region’s history.
