5 DAYS – 3 LEGENDARY PARKS – TSAVO EAST/WEST & AMBOSELI
Malindi/Watamu – Tsavo West – Amboseli – Tsavo East – Malindi/Watamu

TSAVO WEST – AMBOSELI (100 km – Approx. 2.5 hrs)

Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Safari time means early mornings so we can appreciate the breaking light over the plains and be ready to view the wildlife as it emerges into the new day.

On our game drives, we’ll head over to the lush and crystal clear Mzima Springs, a natural oasis fed by millions of gallons of underground water. We’ll be able to explore on foot, treading the green carpet of vegetation by the clear waters. Here we’ll find hippos and crocodiles, exotic fish and unusual birds.

Then it’s time to head to our next park, Amboseli. It’s a fairly short trip to Amboseli and since we’ll be here for a few days we can relax, take it easy and enjoy the picture-perfect presence of mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro overlooking the reserve.

Because the park’s foliage is sparse, our wildlife track is made easier and we’re guaranteed to spot plenty of elephants as well as many or perhaps all the Big Five.

Toward evening we’ll head to our accommodation for dinner and to relax. At this time of day we may get a glimpse of the cloud cover drifting from Kilimanjaro, revealing its snowy summit. This is a photographer’s dream and the stuff of lasting memories for all lucky enough to be here.

We’ll spend two nights here at Amboseli.

What you may see at Amboseli National park ……..

Vast Elephant herds, Leopard, Cheetah, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Lion, Mongoose, Hyrax, Dik-dik, Kudu

AMBOSELI – TSAVO EAST NATIONAL PARK (260 km – Approx. 4 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

We’ll be up early for our last chance to view Mt. Kilimanjaro’s peak and enjoy the day’s first light upon the park. Besides elephants the reserve also enjoys sightings of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, plus zebras and wildebeests. So be on the lookout this morning to see who you can spot.

Soon, we’re ready for breakfast and then it’s time to leave the park, as we hop onto the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway.

We’ll reach the great expanse of Tsavo East in the afternoon. This is a big park – the largest in Kenya and it boasts lots of big game. It’s also the place of legend, where ferocious lions roam and that’s who we’ll be tracking. But there will also be plenty of time to relax as well. As always, it’s your choice of how to spend your time.

Your guide will expertly track for the best spots to find and view the animals as we end the day with an African sunset over the park.

This is our final safari night and we’ll spend it here in the park at your choice of lodge or tented camp.

What you may see at Tsavo East national park ……….

Larger mammals, Vast herds of dust-red Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo Lion, Leopard, Hippo, Crocodile, Waterbucks, Kudu, Gerenuk & Hirola

TSAVO EAST – MALINDI/WATAMU (160 km – Approx. 2-3 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch

By now we are experienced safari-goers and early risers! On our dawn game drive, we’ll be looking for elephant, lion, cheetah, and whomever we can spot on the plains and at the park’s watering holes.

We’ll breakfast and then enjoy a final safari amongst Tsavo’s wild and rugged terrain. The park’s limitless horizon is always a joy to appreciate and fix within our memory.

Finally, lunch will be served at an open-air restaurant with massive vistas of the east Tsavo plains.

We’ll take an easy drive back to the Kenya coast and your Watamu/Malindi beach resort. On the drive back, you can recollect all you’ve seen and experienced on your safari. Your driver/guide is sure to add to the discussion,

You should arrive at your hotel or resort in the late afternoon or early evening.

We hope your 5-day safari adventure was even better than you imagined. For all of us at Natural World Kenya Safaris, a big thanks for letting us show you the best of Kenya!
