The park’s light foliage makes game spotting easier plus the hundreds of species of birdlife all about are a bright mix of color and variety. Look for the crowned crane, lovebird, and sacred ibis.

Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Nairobi airport.
We’ll head out in our 4 x 4 Jeep for Tsavo East on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway also known as the early explorer’s route.
We’ll spend our first day at Tsavo East on game drives, exploring great stretches of grassland and savannah seeking out large and small wildlife – hunters and grazers. The big predators are here but so are other delightful species like gerenuk, impala and Masai giraffe.

Another treat of this park is the red-dust elephants. The soil here is composed of a reddish iron oxide in which the elephants like to roll, giving themselves an eye-catching coat of red that you can’t miss.
We’ll spend our first safari night at Tsavo East, at your choice of lodge or tented camp.

We like to arise early while on safari for the beauty of the dawning day and to watch nature come alive, as the wildlife emerges.
After this early morning game drive, we’ll enjoy a safari breakfast at our accommodation. Then, one last game drive at Tsavo East before we depart for the majesty of Kilimanjaro and Amboseli Park.
You’ll be able to trace your route to the park by the looming appearance of the great mountain standing over Amboseli like an ever-present guardian. Under its watchful gaze marches a wonderful collection of free-ranging elephants that fill the reserve.
But also look for the park’s smaller treasures like foxes, monkeys, and baboons. And at its marshes and lakes, you’ll see a delightful assortment of birdlife like pelicans, kingfishers, egrets, and herons.
Come evening the cloud cover sometimes obscuring Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped summit burns off, revealing one of Africa’s most dazzling sights.
Our second safari night will be in Amboseli at your choice of accommodation.

Once again, we’ll hop into our 4 x 4 Jeep for an early morning game drive to witness Amboseli’s dawning wildlife. Early morning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro can also be breathtaking.
We’ll enjoy breakfast but let’s not linger as we can enjoy an extra mid-morning game drive through the park. We’ll look for those species we haven’t yet spotted and add them to our list as we complete our safari.
We’ll break for lunch and then journey back to Nairobi. We should arrive in the late afternoon.
We’ll drop you off at your hotel, residence, or the airport.
