Itinerary
Pick up at your Nairobi Hotel or at the airport. Our Safari consultant will brief about the trip and the areas to cover. Later leave Kenya’s capital city early in the morning and drive towards the Kenyan coast. You will arrive at the Lodge in the afternoon. Tsavo is the biggest conservation area in Kenya and offers not only the red covered elephants but also the rare hirola antelope. Zebras Dik Diks and a good variety of Antelopes call this magnificent Tsavo East their home. These dry plains have the Galana river snaking its way seeking out its way to the Indian ocean, its water roars over the rocks at the Lugard’s falls as the sneak between the creeks. A stop worth visiting. The 1.6 km inselberg of stratified rock acts as a water catchment that supplies a natural dam below is locally called the Mudanda rock. A refuge for animals during the dry season. After a day of exploration, you return to Ashnil Aruba for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast we head out to the neighboring Tsavo West National Park. We do a game drive as we head to our lodge arriving in good time for lunch. Later in the afternoon we go out for a game drive. We explore the mzima springs. A natural reservoir under the Chyulu hills feeds the springs. Water percolates through underground porous volcanic rocks and the natural filtration process gives the mzima springs clear water. There is a small watch tower where you can observe the aquatic life from such as fish and Nile crocodiles. Further exploration and we could run into savannah monitor lizards’ lions’ leopards buffalos’ elephants’ common waterbucks amongst other beautiful creatures and not forgetting a prolific birdlife. Later return to Kilaguni Serena lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast we head out on a game drive as we head to Amboseli National reserve. Shetani lava flow as its locally referred to is an eight-kilometer lava flow that is 1.6 kilometers wide. Emerging from the Chyulu cones the flow is such a sight with the rock habitat adapted klipspringer hoping occasionally We further proceed to Amboseli National Park arriving in time for lunch. This is the best place to observe the behavior and enjoy watching the magnificent creatures, in fact most of what we know today has been researched in this conservation area by Dr. Cynthia Moss of Amboseli elephant trust. Dinner and overnight at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge.
Its day two at the royal court of Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. Our itinerary is flexible; you have the option of doing half day game drives and later again in the afternoon after a lunch break. Amboseli National Park is the best place to see big herds of elephant. The dusty plains also play host to cheetahs and lions amongst the big cats. On early morning game drives, you have a higher chance of seeing the rarer mammals like the honey badger, African wildcat, African civet amongst others. Thus, we always recommend our guests leave camp or lodge at the earliest legal times with packed breakfast to catch the morning serenity. The thought of the beautiful African sunrise in the open plains and breakfast in the wild with enchanting views should be motivation enough to make you jump out of bed early. Amboseli also offer unmatched photography opportunities, the golden light spiced with the dust as the animals move into and out of the swamp in the morning and in the evening.
After breakfast, we will head back to Nairobi arriving by early evening.
You will either be dropped at a Nairobi hotel or at the airport.
You also have a chance to visit the Giraffe Center or the Elephant Orphanage at an extra cost.
