6-Day Amboseli & Tsavo Safari — Red Elephants and Kilimanjaro

Your private safari begins with pickup in Nairobi and the journey to Amboseli National Park. A planned afternoon game drive introduces the park’s wildlife habitats when arrival and park access allow. Your guide explores suitable viewing areas, looking for elephants and other resident animals and allowing time to watch wildlife encountered. Kilimanjaro forms part of the setting when the mountain is visible, before the first of two Amboseli nights.

Morning and afternoon game drives provide a full day in Amboseli. Your guide explores suitable plains and wetland viewing areas, following current animal activity and allowing time for patient observation. The two outings offer different opportunities to see how wildlife uses the park’s habitats through the day, with a break between drives. Elephant sightings, particular predators and clear mountain views are not guaranteed.

The safari continues from Amboseli to Tsavo East. An afternoon game drive explores the park’s red-earth landscape when the transfer, arrival and entry arrangements permit. Your private guide searches suitable wildlife-viewing areas and provides time to watch animals encountered along the route. This stage changes the safari setting from Amboseli to the dry-country habitats of Tsavo East before the full wildlife day that follows.

A full day of scheduled game viewing explores Tsavo East. Your guide follows suitable viewing routes through the park’s dry-country habitats, looking for elephants, grazing wildlife, predators and birds encountered during the outings. The programme allows time for patient observation and adapts the viewing areas to current animal activity. The day extends the exploration begun on arrival without promising a fixed list of sightings.

An early Tsavo East game drive provides a final wildlife outing before the safari continues to Tsavo West. The afternoon game-viewing programme explores the western park when the transfer and entry arrangements allow. Any arranged Mzima Springs or rhino sanctuary visit follows the day’s programme and current access. The stage moves the safari from Tsavo East’s red-earth landscape to Tsavo West’s contrasting habitats.

A scheduled morning game drive explores Tsavo West before departure. Your guide follows suitable wildlife-viewing routes and allows time to observe animals encountered on the safari’s final outing. Your party then leaves the park for the road journey to Nairobi. The return completes the six-day Amboseli and Tsavo circuit, ending with the agreed Nairobi drop-off after five nights across the three destinations.
