Day 1
Nairobi- Amboseli National Park
Nairobi- Amboseli National Park
You'll depart for the Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. The morning drive is via a typical African savannah country dotted with local homesteads and colorful Maasai herdsmen grazing their cattle. You'll arrive in time for lunch and later venture into the park for the scheduled afternoon game-viewing drive.
You will spot the many herds of elephants up close in the park —it's no wonder why the park is the best place in Africa to spot such herds. The park is also home to many other species, such as the Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, Maasai giraffe, zebra, and blue wildebeest, among other animals. The birdlife is also abundant, with both large and small species. Weather permitting, Amboseli National Park offers a vista of the scenic snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, which makes it a perfect site for photography. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 2
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
You'll have another day to enjoy a full-day game-viewing extravaganza in Amboseli. With its reputation for active elephant sightings, it’s easy to spot them roaming the plains in the morning and evening. During much of the day, you can observe them splashing and foraging in the Ol Okenya Swamp. You will also stop at Observation Hill to view the sprawling, breathtaking view of Amboseli.
You may opt to have the full-day game drive, otherwise, you can also choose to do the game drives in separate successions so that you may have a chance to enjoy the lodge facilities. The driver-guide will be readily available to discuss your daily activities as per your preferences, including an optional visit to a Maasai village (at an extra cost). Every safari is different according to your wishes, likes, and expectations. Just let us know how you would like to customize your special journey.

Amboseli- Tsavo West National Park
You'll have an early breakfast and then check out and proceed to Tsavo West National Park. The park is commonly known as the “Land of Lava, Springs, Man-Eaters & Magical Sunsets”.
From the sight of 50 million gallons of crystal-clear water gushing out from the under-parched lava rock that is the Mzima Springs to the Shetani lava flows, Tsavo West is a beautiful, rugged wilderness. The savannah ecosystem comprises open grasslands, scrublands, acacia woodlands, belts of riverine vegetation, and rocky ridges, including the Poacher's Lookout, where visitors can see the teeming herds in the plains below.
Tsavo West offers some of the best game viewing in the world. The attractions include elephants, hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalos, and diverse plant and bird species, including the threatened corncrake and near-threatened Basra reed warbler.
You'll arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive. Later, you'll return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
