Day 1 – Amboseli
Depart Nairobi in the morning and drive via Namanga on the Tanzania
border to reach Amboseli early in the afternoon. We view game as we
proceed towards the campsite for dinner and overnight. This small
park (at 392 sq km) is the second most popular park in Kenya after
Masai Mara, mainly due to the spectacular backdrop of Mt.
Kilimanjaro on the southern boundary.
Day 2 – Amboseli
Day spent exploring this park. The waters from melted snow drain
down the mountain under lava flows and surface on the Amboseli
plains, creating a green belt of swampland amidst dusty plains. Here
elephant, buffalo, lion, cheetah, wildebeest, hyena, jackal,
warthogs, zebra and the Maasai giraffe are likely to be seen.
Amboseli means ‘the place of water’ in Maasai language. The park has
an endless supply of water which is filtered through thousands of
meters of volcanic rock from Mount Kilimanjaro. Animal species seen
include elephant, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, impala and leopard.
The birdlife seen here includes pelican, bee eater, kingfisher,
African fish eagle and pygmy falcon
Day 3 Amboseli – Tsavo West National park
After an early breakfast depart for Tsavo West National Park which
lies roughly half way between Nairobi and the Coast. Mzima Springs,
the chief marvel here is a favorite haunt of hippos and crocodiles.
Picnic lunch then proceed for an evening game drive to see large
herds of elephants, buffalo, common waterbuck, eland, rhino and a
wide variety of antelope. Dinner and overnight at a Campsite.
Day 4: Tsavo West – Tsavo East National park
We break the camp soon after breakfast and proceed to Tsavo East
National park. Game is viewed as we exit the park. This park was
famed for its large herds of elephant covered in red dust and fine
scenery. We visit the scenic Lugards Falls, Mudanda Rocks (attracts
elephants in the drier season) and Aruba Dam as we view game if time
permits. Dinner and overnight stay at a Campsite.
Day 5: Tsavo East National park
Full day spent exploring the park. Morning and afternoon game drives
are offered. Dinner and overnight stay at a campsite. The landscape
in Tsavo East is flatter and drier, despite having one of Kenya’s
largest rivers flowing through the middle. Much of the wildlife is
concentrated on the Galana River, which has plentiful crocs and
hippos. Likewise, Kudus, waterbucks and dik-diks are common along
the river banks.
