After breakfast, enjoy an extensive game drive in Amboseli National Park before heading to Tsavo West National Park, home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the eastern black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, Cape buffalo, elephants, leopards, and lions. The park is also teeming with smaller species like bush babies, hartebeests, lesser kudu, and Masai giraffes.

A highlight of the day is a visit to Mzima Springs, one of Tsavo's most popular attractions, known for its resident hippos and Nile crocodiles. The springs are vital to these species, as no other water source is accessible to them. The hippos’ nightly grazing and return to Mzima’s pools nourish the water, supporting a thriving ecosystem of fruiting trees like date palms, raffia palms, and figs.
