5-Day Amboseli Tsavo West East and Saltlick from Nairobi

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel or the airport in Nairobi and a scenic drive to Amboseli National Park, about 4-5 hours. The park is famous for its herds of elephants, lions, giraffes, and cheetahs, as well as Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest African mountain. You will arrive in time for lunch, check in, have lunch, and rest for an hour. You will proceed on an afternoon game drive until 6 pm, then return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Wake up early, take breakfast, and check out. Go for an early morning game drive, then continue the game drive as you head to the gate. Depart for Tsavo West National Park, a journey of about 3 hours, and arrive at noon. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, have lunch, and rest for an hour. Embark on an exciting game drive to spot the park’s famous red elephants and visit the Rhino Sanctuary. Return to your lodge for dinner, then overnight at Ngulia Safari Lodge.

Wake up for an early breakfast. You'll have an early-morning game drive to capture predator activity at dawn. You will enjoy a magnificent sunrise through the beautiful scenery of roaring hills and towering escarpments. This drive will also take you to the Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water is collected through underground streams of Mount Kilimanjaro. This is an important biodiversity area that supports life not only in Tsavo but also in the larger coastal area, since it is the main water supply for Mombasa. Then, visit the Shetani Lava Flow and enjoy the rugged beauty of this expansive park. Exit the park gate and head to Tsavo East. Enjoy the drive along the famous Nairobi-Mombasa highway and arrive at the lodge for check-in. Have lunch, relax, then proceed on an afternoon game drive in search of wildlife. Later, we will drive back to the lodge for dinner and overnight at Voi Safari Lodge.

Enjoy an amazing drive with a view of the diverse landscape. Upon arrival at Taita Hills Lodge, you will check in and then go on a short game drive. You will return to the lodge, have lunch, and relax at the lodge or Salt Lick for a while. Then head out for a game drive in the sanctuary, searching for lions and other wildlife, until sunset. Return to the lodge for dinner, then overnight at Salt Lick, which features an imaginative structure. A complex of rondavels sits on stilts over a series of waterholes. These two-story towers, topped by peaked thatch roofs connected by open-air bridges, create an African fantasy of a medieval fortress. The lodge has been built with game viewing in mind. The structure provides a panoramic view of the sanctuary, offering spectacular views of the landscape and wildlife.
