A short safari for the wildlife enthusiast exploring Kenya’s Amboseli and Tsavo West national parks, in the shadow of Africa’s tallest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro.

Day 1, Amboseli National Park
From Nairobi, we drive to Amboseli National Park. This is the park that is probably most famous for its photographs of elephant with snow-capped Kilimanjaro in the background - a picture that above all says, ‘come to Africa’.

Day 2, Amboseli National Park
We explore on early morning and afternoon game drives hopping to spot the diverse range of wildlife. This is one of the best places in Africa to watch elephant, reputedly with the biggest tusks in Africa, cats include lion, leopard and cheetah, and there’s an abundance of plains game meandering on the grassy plains. Amboseli’s landscape is of dry and dusty open plains trampled by hundreds of animals but it is well-watered thanks to the melting snow on the top of Kili that feeds the springs in the park.

Day 3, Tsavo East National Park
Next we head to Tsavo East where there is some excellent scenery of vast rolling plains and scrubby bush dotted with baobab trees. The wildlife includes all the Big 5 plus zebra, giraffe, cheetah, various species of antelope and over 500 species of birds. Tsavo is particularly known for its huge herds of elephant.

Day 4, Nairobi
After another early morning game drive, you are transferred back to Nairobi.
