Your 6 days, 5 nights Mombasa Kenya-Tsavo east, amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara road and train safari package begins with an early pick up from Mombasa and the Kenya coastal beaches.......
We depart our hotel on the inland journey via the Mombasa - Nairobi highway. The 120km - 2hrs dawn journey takes us to the southern entry point of the Bachuma gate where we stop briefly for refreshments. We commence game viewing drives on entry in the direction of your accommodation base.
After check-in, we will freshen up and enjoy a buffet lunch. We relax and adjust to the “jungle environment” awaiting the afternoon drive when the wild game comes alive after the mid-day heat lull. We transverse the park looking out for game, drinking at the scenery and marveling at the splendor that the African sunset immerses the jungle in. Your expert safari driver guide takes us through the tracks, returning us to your bases for your evening meals and overnight.

An early date with nature! We start the day with an early breakfast later setting off for Amboseli with an exit game viewing drive en-route. The later part of the days journey is bumpy and dusty but the scenic drama more than compensates for the ride. “This is an Africa safari with adventure thrown in”
Mid-day finds us at the floors of the Kilimanjaro. Check-in, freshen up and relax before venturing out on a short, concentrated game viewing drive. Game at Amboseli is easily visible with the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro offering the ultimate backdrop for both amateur and professional photographers. What you missed at the Tsavo will definitely be found here!
