Tsavo East, Tsavo West & Amboseli National Parks!

Explore the largest game park in Kenya, Lots of Elephants & Other Big Surprise.

Tsavo East National Park, a historic reserve with a storied past of ferocious lions and great natural features. Its distinctive red-dust soil attracts lively herds of elephants who enjoy rolling around in the rosy-coloured earth. Sister park Tsavo West contrasts with its green hills and springs filled with hippos and crocodiles. All the big game are here but you’ll also find baboon, monkey, and the smaller bush baby and dik-dik. Not far off we’ll arrive at Amboseli National Park, a smaller reserve but with just as much wildlife. The families of elephants are so populous here the park has been called, ‘The Land of the Giants’. And another giant dominating the landscape is Africa’s tallest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Day 3

Tsavo West – Amboseli: 65 miles Appr 2 hrs:

Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

We’ll be up before the birds as we journey in our vehicle. It’s another new day on the savannah and a perfect time for photos in the morning’s soft light. Tsavo West has lots of surprises and one of them is Mzima Springs, a lush oasis in the middle of this rugged terrain. We’ll stop here and walk amongst the greenery of this verdant spring, fed by thousands of gallons of fresh, clear water. There’s hippo, crocodile, fish and lots of birdlife in this unexpected habitat. Thirsty citizens of the reserve like elephant and zebra also frequent this spot for its life-giving waters. Now it’s time for the relatively short drive to Amboseli Park, arriving late morning.

Look for the tall summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro standing over the park. We’ll have lunch, relax and head out for an afternoon safari. The game spotting is rich and active in Amboseli so we should soon see the park’s famous herds of elephants marching before Kilimanjaro. Have your camera ready. At this time of day, the clouds often obscuring the mountain’s snowy peak may burn off revealing one of Africa’s most magnificent sights.
