5 Days Tsavo West, Amboseli & Tsavo East National park Kenya safari from Mombasa beach

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

Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We’ll have an early breakfast and enjoy the African sunrise before jumping into our safari Jeep for our first game drive of the day.

We’ll travel from the hills and plains of Tsavo to the unexpected shaded waters of Mzima Springs, a lush oasis that attracts wildlife to its crystal waters. Going on a nature walk here, we’ll also find crocs, hippos, exotic fish and birds.

Soon it’s time to head out to our second park, Amboseli, on a short 2-hour drive.

Amboseli features two wonderful aspects – the towering presence of Mt. Kilimanjaro overlooking the park and the profusion of giant herds of elephants. It’s impossible to miss either of them in this small but very active park.

The park’s size and lack of vegetation make game watching easier. Safari-goers have had great luck spotting a delightful variety of wildlife at Amboseli.

Fixing our gaze on Kilimanjaro, it will be hard not to snap lots of photos of Africa’s tallest peak. And often in the evening the blanket of clouds obscuring its snowy peak will part, revealing its famous summit.

We will overnight at your safari lodge or tented campground.

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 and if we’re lucky, a clear view of Kilimanjaro’s dazzling summit will greet us with the dawn. After a pre-breakfast game drive, we’ll eat and then exit the park.

Back on the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway, we’ll travel to Kenya’s largest park, Tsavo East. The terrain here is vast, rugged and distinguished by its red-oxide soil. The elephants like to roll in it and you’ll be entertained by their fashion show of a new red-dusted coating.

We’ll break to freshen up and enjoy lunch at our accommodation.

The afternoon will be an easy mix of game drives, stops to enjoy the African plains, and soon the African sunset.

Your driver/guide is always available for any questions you may have or special requests.

This is our last safari night, and we’ll relax at our 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 – MOMBASA (180 km – Approx. 3 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch

It’s our last safari day, so we’ll be up early to make the most of our time. We’re sure to visit the watering holes at Mudanda Rock and Aruba Dam. This is where hordes of wildlife visit to drink from the essential waters.

We’ll enjoy breakfast and then explore some more. The park’s sparse foliage and broad plains lend themselves to rich game viewing.

Lunch will be served at an open-air restaurant with large vistas of the park and surrounding area.

As our 5-day safari winds down, we’ll take an easy drive back to Mombasa and the Kenya Coast.

This is a good time to relax and perhaps reminisce about your adventure and the many sights you’ve collected over the days of your safari.

By late afternoon or early evening, we will have you back at your resort or hotel. We hope you enjoyed your safari. Thank you – Asante!
