Itinerary
- You'll be picked up from the airport or your hotel early in the morning and drive along the Mombasa-Nairobi highway. Before entering the park, have a brief stop to view the elephants at the Voi Safari Lodge waterhole. Then, proceed to the Bachuma gate of Tsavo East National Park. With your safari guide, continue with a game viewing en route to Ashnil Aruba Safari Lodge for an early lunch.
Spend the afternoon leisurely by the swimming pool while waiting for the sun to cool down for a late afternoon game viewing in Tsavo East National Park.
You have an opportunity to view the "red elephants" of Tsavo, lions, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, and numerous species of wildlife. Visit Aruba Dam, where several aquatic birds can be seen. Return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

- Enjoy a pre-breakfast safari in Tsavo East National Park. After breakfast, proceed to Amboseli National Park with a game drive as you exit the park.
Amboseli National Park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to wild elephants and view Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in Africa. It is home to iconic wildlife, hosting four members of the Big Five, from lions to graceful zebras, and countless bird species in its swamps and wetlands. Amboseli is celebrated for its exceptional opportunities for close encounters with members of the Big Five.
You will arrive in Amboseli in good time for a hot lunch and relaxation. Later in the afternoon, when the sun has cooled off, proceed to the park for an extensive game viewing until 18h30.

- Breakfast is followed by an extensive game drive in Amboseli National Park before exiting for Tsavo West National Park. It has a variety of wildlife, such as eastern black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, and lion. Other animals can also be spotted in the park, such as the bushbaby, hartebeest, lesser kudu, and Maasai giraffe.
Apart from wildlife, you will visit the Mzima Springs, which is one of Tsavo's most popular wildlife attractions owing to its resident populations of hippos and Nile crocodiles. Mzima's isolation makes both species dependent on its waters; other sources are too distant for them to reach by overland travel.
The hippos also sustain an entire food chain. They browse the surrounding savannah by night and return to Mzima's pools by day, where their dung fertilizes the water. Fruiting trees such as the date, raffia palms, water berries, and figs grow beside the water.
