Amboseli & Tsavo West

Welcome to choose this Kenya private tour! After breakfast, our local safari driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi and drive westwards to Kenya's largest wildlife national park, Tsavo National Park. It consists of two parts, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Tsavo West is dominated by numerous volcanoes and mountains, and the volcanic springs have created wetlands with palm trees, attracting many water birds and hippos.

In about 4 to 5 hours, you will arrive at the lodge we booked for you centrally located in the park. It features a natural pond nearby, often attracting animals to drink water, such as elephants, zebras, buffalo, and various birds. You can easily see them from your room or the hotel's viewing platform. Sometimes, you can also hear the roars of hippos and the sounds of elephants dabbling at night. After lunch, we will take an exciting game drive in Tsavo West National Park to experience the charm of the wild and spot some endemic animals. At sunset, we will return to the lodge for dinner.

★ Our Vehicle Strength:
We will escort you on safari in a 4×4 pop-top roof land cruiser that can offer you more protection from the sunshine and dust with its enclosed body. In addition, the pop-up hatch can provide you with a 360-degree game-viewing experience. Compared to the minivan, it has a better performance, more reliable and durable. Its upgraded wheels can also easily navigate various terrains on the savanna.

We will have morning and afternoon game drives in Tsavo West National Park today. With various terrains, such as rocky ridges, hills, and savannas, it attracts numerous wildlife inhabitants. You can see hippos, lions, cheetahs, and different kinds of birds and encounter its unique “red elephants,” who enjoy taking sand baths and thus are always covered by red soil. Besides viewing animals, we’ll visit Mzima Springs in the west of the park, which is made up of four natural springs. Along its hiking path, you can get to an underground glass windowed viewing room to have a close and clear look at thousands of primeval-looking fish, hippos, and Nile crocodiles in the water. If time permits, our guide will escort you to Poacher’s Lookout, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the park and see herds of wildebeests and zebras nearby.

Tips for Safari:
1. Due to the risk of Yellow Fever transmission in Kenya, we suggest all visitors get vaccinated 15 days before departure and obtain the certification as the customs may check it.
2. It's hot at noon but relatively cold in the morning and evening, so we recommend you pack sun-protective gear and a thick coat. In addition, masks are necessary as the roads may be dusty during the game driving.
3. To avoid danger, please do not lean out of the window or grovel on the top of the car when taking photos. 
4. Please note that drones are not allowed in national parks or reserves, or you may be fined.

After breakfast, we will take a scenic drive to Amboseli National Park, which takes 2-3 hours on the way. Amboseli National Park, located at the border between Kenya and Tanzania, is one of the most famous African holiday destinations. Here, you can see Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's first peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level.

After arriving, you will check into the lodge in the park. The good location makes it convenient for you to arrive at animal areas and have more time to admire wildlife. In addition, it is surrounded by lush jungles, so you can see monkeys roaming in the yard and gazelles grazing around. Sometimes you can even hear the roar of lions from the distance. In the afternoon, we will have a leisure game drive in the park until sunset and enjoy the vast starry sky on a clear night.

Today, we will spend a whole day having a game drive in Amboseli National Park. You will spot various wild animals and catch sight of groups of grey elephants followed by herds of white egrets. In addition, we will climb up the Observation Hill to overlook the entire park. The seasonal Lake Amboseli is also worth visiting. During the rainy season (November - May), the lake is lush with vegetation and attracts 400 species of birds, as well as herds of elephants and hippos. When the dry season (June - October) comes, it generally dries up and becomes the best place to admire the snow scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro. Because in the rainy season, its snow peak will be obscured by the thick clouds after early morning. After the game drive, we will return to the lodge for dinner.

If you want, we can continue the game drive in the early morning in the park. You will see the morning scene of Mount Kilimanjaro and observe the wild animals up close. Then, we will take you back to your hotel in Nairobi or Nairobi Airport, which takes about 4-5 hours. Your 5-day private safari in Kenya will end here. Wish you have had a happy voyage with us!

If you want to admire more animals, Tanzania awaits you! The savanna there is much vaster and better protected. With lower tourist density, you can admire animals closer up. If you are interested in our Tanzania tours, please feel free to contact our consultants.
