Second in popularity after the legendary Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park not only offers great game viewing but is also the place to go for the best views of iconic Mount Kilimanjaro. The world's tallest free-standing mountain actually rises just across the border in Tanzania but Amboseli has a postcard-perfect view of its snow-capped peaks, rising almost six vertical kilometres above the savannah. The best time to view 'Kili' is at dawn and sunset when the clouds lift and the light is clear and soft. All meals and overnight at your safari lodge.

Leaving Amboseli behind, you drive westward into Tsavo West National Park, a landscape defined by its rugged hills, lava flows, and dense woodlands. Your first stop is Mzima Springs, an oasis of crystal-clear water fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro. Here, you take a short walk along the banks, watching hippos bask lazily while crocodiles lurk beneath the water’s surface.
Continuing through the park, you traverse the eerie expanse of Shetani Lava Flow, a vast field of black volcanic rock that, according to local legend, was formed by the devil himself. By midday, you cross into Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, where rolling green hills replace the arid landscapes of Tsavo.
After lunch, an afternoon game drive takes you through dense acacia forests and open plains, home to elephants, giraffes, and elusive leopards. As night falls, enjoy a sundowner on an elevated deck, watching as the last rays of sunlight fade over the hills.
