Day 1: Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Pick up from your Nairobi hotel/residence or Nairobi airport at 7:00am. Depart for Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa road and enjoy a drive via typical African savanna country dotted with local homesteads and colorful Masai herdsmen grazing their cattle. We will arrive at the lodge with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before we head out for our evening game drive between 1600hrs to 1830hrs. We explore one of Kenya's most popular tourist parks for the opportunity to see animals against the backdrop of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. The elephants are the kings of the park, no doubt, they are fond of the swamp areas in the park, where they share the cool waters with the hippos and hide beneath the papyrus.

We will arrive at camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before we head out for our evening game drive between 1600hrs to 1830hrs. Tsavo West is wetter and topographically more varied with some of the most beautiful scenery in the northern reaches of the park.

Highlights here are Mzima Springs, a series of natural springs with large populations of hippos and crocodiles, Chaimu Crater, and a great spot for spotting birds of prey. Wildlife is not as easy to see in Tsavo West because of the dense vegetation, but the beautiful scenery more than compensates.
