Begin your adventure in Tsavo East and West, two of the country’s largest and most diverse national parks. Traverse the rugged savannahs, volcanic hills, and seasonal rivers, encountering large herds of elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and a wealth of birdlife. The contrasting landscapes of Tsavo East’s wide-open plains and Tsavo West’s forested hills and lava flows provide endless opportunities for photography and wildlife observation, immersing you in the untamed beauty of Kenya.
Next, continue to Amboseli National Park, a jewel of the Rift Valley famed for its iconic elephant herds and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Here, morning and afternoon game drives allow you to witness elephants, giraffes, lions, and buffalo moving across the golden plains, framed by the majestic silhouette of Kilimanjaro.

Begin your journey with a scenic road transfer to Tsavo East National Park, one of Kenya’s largest and most iconic wildlife destinations. Upon arrival, enjoy a welcoming lunch at your lodge, taking in the vast, open landscapes that characterize this remarkable park.
In the afternoon, embark on a thrilling game drive across the park’s flat, dry plains. Tsavo East is renowned for its wide-open terrain, which, combined with sparse vegetation, allows for excellent visibility and spectacular wildlife viewing. Spot elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and buffalo, while keen-eyed guides reveal the park’s secrets—from subtle predator tracks to hidden watering holes supporting hippos and crocodiles. A winding river courses through the park, providing life to the ecosystem and opportunities to observe animals gathering at its banks.

The combination of expansive landscapes, abundant wildlife, and quiet lodge luxury sets the tone for an immersive safari adventure.
