5 Day Tsavo East – Tsavo West & Amboseli Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi – Tsavo East (320km – Approx 5 hrs)
Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
06:00 hrs. Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi area hotel, Nairobi airport or Nairobi area residence and head out in our 4 x 4 Jeep for Tsavo East.
Day 2: Tsavo East – Tsavo West
Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Welcome to safari life where we rise before the sun to watch the park come alive and head out on our first game drive. The park is peaceful at this time of day and we’ll be listening and looking for the first signs of emerging wildlife.
We’ll enjoy breakfast at our accommodation and take one more game drive as we depart for Tsavo West. This next park is pleasing to the eye with its scenic hills and valleys, oases, and surprises like ancient baobab trees. There’s plenty of the big game here like lion and rhino. We’ll proceed to the Nguila Rhino Sanctuary which harbors over 80 of these fascinating creatures.
Day 3: Tsavo West – Amboseli (100kms – Approx 2 hrs)
Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
We’ll be up with the birdsong and ready for the sights the natural world will bring us in this new dawning day. An early game drive brings us into the first rays of sunlight as it lights up the savannah and the park’s awakening inhabitants.
Let’s head over to one of Tsavo West’s treasures, Mzima Springs, a rich, green oasis. In this lush setting, we’ll find hippo, crocodile, exotic fish and birds. We can walk here, under the palm-fringed shores and take in the park’s other wildlife, attracted to these life-giving waters.
Now it’s time to take the short trip to Amboseli Park. Just look for the sky-scraping peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro as our beacon to the park. We’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch and perhaps some free time at our accommodation before heading out to discover the wilds of Amboseli. There is a rich assortment of game to discover on these plains and we’ll be looking for all of Africa’s Big Five.
With Kilimanjaro posing in the background, you’ll be tempted to take lots of photos. Toward evening you may even get better views of the great mountain’s snow-encrusted peak as the cloud covering often burns away, revealing one of the world’s most enchanting sights.
Day 4: Amboseli National Park
Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
We have prepared a full day of game drives at Amboseli to see the big game, especially the elephants. The park is famous for being the best spot in Africa to spot the great herds as they march family-style to their favorite watering holes. See how many you can count.
Observation Hill is a wonderful vantage point to observe the wildlife in the marshes below, like buffalo, hippo, pelican, and other waterfowl. Along with your many game drives you can take advantage of an optional visit we offer to a nearby Masai Village. Meet the tribespeople and learn about their lifestyle up close. Your driver/guide from Adventure In The Wild Safaris can make all the arrangements.
Day 5: Amboseli – Nairobi (240kms – Approx 4 hrs)
Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch
Let’s finish our safari with a bang… up before dawn and out on the savannah in our 4 x 4, searching for more wild game to add to our list, our photos, and our memories. Is there anything better than a safari?
As we enjoy our breakfast surrounded by the beauty of nature, check out Kilimanjaro to see if you can spot its snowy peak. We’ll hop in the jeep for one final game drive and bid farewell to this wonderful park as we turn and head back to Nairobi. We should arrive there at about 16:30 hrs. (4:30 pm).
