Kenya Elephant Safari

Day 1: Your safari starts at Tsavo

Our Kenya Elephant Safari starts with a trip to Kenya's south at Tsavo West National Park.

Your day starts early as we look to have a great drive. We will pick you up at your residency/hotel early in the morning and head to Tsavo. Enjoy some thrilling landscapes on your way, taking photos of the plateau that will usher us to this wilderness.

The expected arrival time is around mid-day. We shall drive to the lodge for check-in, lunch and refreshments. Then a short rest before embarking on our afternoon game drive. It will be more of a glimpse as we acclimate ourselves to the wilderness exploring the wildlife, spotting resident predators, and the famous man-eating lions.

Later in the evening, we will return to the lodge for dinner and accommodation.

Day 2: After the Tsavo Elephants and Mzima Springs

Tsavo West has a volcanic landscape with lava flows and rocky outcrops mingling with the long grass and African bushveld. The game viewing is slightly more challenging here as you have to really 'search out' the wildlife amongst the difficult terrain but it just means the final rewards when you find that elusive lion or shy leopard feel extra special!  There are many elephants here, plus impala, giraffe, buffalo and zebra.  The birdlife is superb.

We test this old saying by embarking on an early morning game-spotting and scenery-viewing drive at the Tsavo West National Park. The African sunrise, the freshness and beauty of the wild, and the animal sightings shall be the highlights of our morning. We shall spectate as the browsers and predators move about unperturbed by the human presence.

We shall head to the Mzima Springs to view hippos, crocodiles, exotic fish, and a variety of bird species. The greenery surrounding the springs is a welcome contrast to the arid terrain that forms the bulk of the Tsavo West.

We shall head back to the lodge for lunch, a little rest, and check out as we head to Amboseli. The 100 km drive to the Amboseli National Park shall be through wild country. We arrive at Amboseli late in the afternoon. We shall relax and settle in at the lodge then have dinner.

Day 3: Huge herds of Elephants in Amboseli

It's easy to see why Amboseli is cherished by wildlife enthusiasts. Home to huge herds of elephants, both in tusks and size, against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest free-standing mountain and Africa's tallest mountain.

We will be early again! The sunrise and emergence of the  Kilimanjaro mountain peak from the clouds are dramatic “weather permitting”.We will marvel at the vistas as we enjoy our breakfast.

Afterwards, we're off to the wilderness, after the resident elephants that will tower over anything that it's on their way. You'll be dwarfed in your safari land cruiser as you get up close. Your game drive will include these sightings and get an opportunity to see predators including lions, leopards, and hyenas, and other resident wildlife including crocodiles, hippos, wild dogs, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and dik-diks among others.

You can opt to have a picnic lunch inside the park at designated areas, otherwise, lunch will always be served at the lodge.

After lunch, we are off to an afternoon as we continue exploring the wildlife of Amboseli. Amboseli is among the best wildlife destinations for an elephant safari in Africa.

Later, we head back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4: End of your Kenya Elephant Safari

On our last day of this safari, we shall have a morning game drive exploring more wonders and thrills of Amboseli.

The day starts with morning breakfast before we check out. We will have a short morning game drive then it's off to Nairobi.

We shall have lunch at Carnivore, Nairobi, known for its delicious barbecue that includes legal bush meats such as crocodile, zebra, giraffe, impala, and more.

Afterward, we will drop you off at your residency or hotel.
