3 Days Tsavo West – Amboseli Driving Safari

Your driver/guide will pick you up from your place of choice – hotel, residence, or the Nairobi
airport.
Settling into your private 4 x 4 Landcruiser Jeep, we’ll make good time on the Nairobi-Mombasa
Highway, viewing the passing local homesteads. We’ll be entering Masai country and you may
see the herdsmen tending to their flocks.
As we approach Tsavo West, you’ll be greeted with rolling hills and varied landscapes of bush,
woodlands, and riverine forest.
We’ll take a lunch break at your accommodation and then set out for sightings of the park’s
varied wildlife including lion, elephant, zebra, buffalo, cheetah, ostrich, and much more.
The birdlife here is rich in variety and color – your guide will be pointing out all kinds of
migratory birds – goshawks, weavers, starlings, kingfishers, herons – the list goes on.
Another wonderful feature of the park is its protected area for black rhinos – the Ngulia Rhino
Sanctuary
Dinner and overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Now it’s time to head to neighboring Amboseli Park. The short drive will bring the towering
form of Mt. Kilimanjaro ever closer as it looms over the reserve.
Amboseli is much smaller than Tsavo West but this just means the wildlife is that much denser
and closer. Indeed, the elephant spotting here is said to be the best in the world.
It’s not uncommon to spot lion, buffalo, zebra, cheetah, and smaller game like hyena, fox,
jackal, and even monkey and baboon.
With such active wildlife and the scenic form of Kilimanjaro dominating the land, your
opportunities for great picture-taking are significant.
As the day edges on, the clouds sometimes obscuring the mountain’s peak may disperse, giving
you still more photographic opportunities.
Dinner and overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

We’ll be up before the sun in anticipation of our final safari day. We may also enjoy a clear view
of Kilimanjaro’s summit, weather permitting – a perfect way to begin our day. So, let’s start
with a game drive and add checkmarks to our list of “seen” wildlife.
Then it’s back to our lodge or tented camp for breakfast as the sun rises over the park and we
plan the mid-morning game drive with our driver/guide.
Grabbing our gear, we’ll bundle into the 4 x 4 for another chance to enjoy the sight of elephants
on parade and perhaps lion or cheetah lurking nearby in the bush.
We should arrive in the city by late afternoon and we will bring you to your hotel, the airport or
place of your choosing.
