Itinerary
Pick up from your Nairobi hotel at 0730 hrs - a safari briefing session with our tour consultant then Leave Kenya’s capital city early in the morning and drive towards the Kenyan coast. We arrive at the camp/lodge for lunch. Later in the afternoon we head out and explore this semi-arid conservation area that is covered in beautiful iron rich red soils. The famous huge red elephants of Tsavo are to be found here as well as lions’ cheetahs and leopards. We later return to Ashnil Aruba for dinner and overnight after chasing the ever-magical sunset in Africa.
Our flexible safari itinerary gives you the option of doing morning and evening game drives or crafting an ideal day program with our professional safari guide. 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, we return to Ashnil Aruba for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast we head to the Taita Hills Wildlife Conservancy which gets its name from the surrounding hills. The conservancy covers an area of 28,000 acres of diverse habitat in which the plant physiognomy is riverine forest, savanna wood and grassland. The vegetation formation is usually stratified, dense and always dominated by Acacia /Commiphora trees. The Salt lick Safari lodge is raised and has a water whole where animals including elephants come to quench. You get fantastic views from the underground watch. We arrive in time for lunch. Later in the afternoon we head for a game drive at these wonderful Sanctuary Dinner and overnight at the Salt lick Safari lodge.
Leave Early in the morning and head to Amboseli National Park We arrive in time for lunch at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge. After relaxing from the 4hours drive, we embark on our first game drive looking for elephants and any interesting creative setup. We end the evening with silhouette photography as the sun goes down and watching the Mount Kilimanjaro with animals in the fore ground.
Our itinerary is flexible, and we have the option of doing half day game drives and later again in the afternoon after a lunch break. The 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, which happens to be their daily migration routine. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
After breakfast we drive back to Nairobi and arrive by early evening. You will either be dropped at your hotel or at the airport.
