Suggested itinerary
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Depart Nairobi in the morning and drive south toward Amboseli. Arrive at the lodge for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive across open plains and wetland areas. Look for elephants, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and predators, with Mount Kilimanjaro visible when weather conditions are clear.
Full-Day Amboseli Wildlife Experience
Start with an early game drive for soft light, active wildlife and potential Kilimanjaro views. Return for breakfast and continue with a mid-morning visit to Observation Hill, where the guide explains the park's wetlands and seasonal water systems. After lunch and rest, take a late-afternoon drive focused on elephant families, birdlife and sunset landscapes.
Amboseli to Tsavo West
Leave Amboseli after breakfast and drive into Tsavo West through changing volcanic scenery. Visit Mzima Springs where clear water supports fish, hippos and crocodiles, subject to conditions. Continue to the lodge for lunch and later explore nearby game-viewing tracks, lava formations and wooded habitats known for elephants, buffalo and elusive leopards.
Tsavo West to Tsavo East
Take a morning game drive before crossing into Tsavo East. The landscape opens into broad plains associated with red-dust elephants and large buffalo herds. After lunch, visit wildlife areas around Aruba Dam or the Galana River according to road and animal conditions. End the day with a sunset drive toward the lodge.
Tsavo East to Nairobi or Mombasa
Enjoy a final early game drive, return for breakfast and check out. Continue by road to Nairobi or Mombasa according to the confirmed booking. The selected ending point must be stated before final pricing because road distance and vehicle arrangements differ. Airport or hotel drop-off concludes the programme.

Reviews for this tour
“The tea factory visit was the strongest part of the programme because we followed the leaf through every processing stage. More time for photography in the fields would make the itinerary even better.”
