Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

Silver

Gold

Platinum

As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Africa Safari Trips team or a hotel driver greets you with a big smile: 'Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!' He brings you straight to your hotel to relax and, along the way, you get your first impressions of vibrant Nairobi. The next day, your guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Let the adventure begin!

Accommodations:

Discover the iconic Amboseli National Park

Silver

Gold

Platinum

For no less than two days, you explore magical Amboseli National Park. Fantastic views on Mount Kilimanjaro await you, with animals grazing in front of it. And if you stay at the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp, you can admire amazing savannah views at sunset - sundowner in hand and all!

Activities:

: This marks the beginning of your safari adventure! Your guide will be waiting at the hotel reception at 7:30 AM to welcome you and walk you through a brief orientation to safety and safari rules before you set off. From then on, you travel together in a private safari vehicle, ensuring a seamless and personal experience across each park. You set the pace and decide when to leave, how long to stay at sightings, and what to focus on. With deep knowledge of wildlife, parks, and local culture, your guide tailors each day to match your interests.
: After driving towards Amboseli National Park today, you end your day in style with a classic safari sundowner. Upon arrival in the lodge and after freshening up, a guide accompanies you to a special sundowner spot. The short walk over the savannah leads to a table and chairs, glasses and drinks, snacks and, of course, a view to die for. With some luck, you see the Amboseli animals passing while the sun slowly sets in the most beautiful glow over the long savannah grasses...
: A 4.5-hour drive southeast of Nairobi sees the city’s urban energy fade into wide Maasai plains and open sky. On clear days, the first glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro rising above the treeline signals your arrival in one of Africa’s most iconic safari landscapes…a moment that often stops conversation mid-sentence.
: Discover the mesmerizing Amboseli National Park, a true wildlife haven at the foot of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. The national park on the border with Tanzania offers sweeping savannahs, impressive lava rocks and shimmering swamps, creating an ideal habitat for large herds of elephants, graceful lions, a staggering variety of bird species and many more animals. Shoot them all (with your camera, of course!) with the mighty Kili in the background – an amazing sight!

Accommodations:

Drive from Amboseli National Park to Tsavo West National Park

Silver

Gold

Platinum

Departing Amboseli with Kilimanjaro fading in the rearview mirror, this 3.5-hour drive northwest cuts through open Maasai plains and dry acacia scrubland before the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Tsavo West begin to take shape on the horizon. It's a seamless transition between two of Kenya's most iconic parks, the road itself feeling like a natural bridge between elephant country and the rugged, lava-sculpted wilderness that lies ahead.

Activities:

: Tsavo West National Park is a park that shows a diverse and remarkable nature with, for example, the Mzima Springs, the Shetani Lava Flows and the Chaimu crater. With its 9,065 square kilometres, this is one of Kenya's largest national parks, and four of the Big Five can be seen roaming freely here. Besides, you fairly easily spot regulars like giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gerenuks and many different species of birds, all between the green hills, acacia forests, savannah, natural springs and huge lava rocks from nearby volcanos.

Accommodations:

Silver Severin Safari Camp
Gold Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge
Platinum Severin Safari Camp - Junior Suite

Drive from Tsavo West National Park to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Lumo conservancy

Silver

Gold

Platinum

Soroi Cheetah Tented Camp - Lumo Conservancy Tsavo

Just 3 hours separate Tsavo West's volcanic wilderness from the quietly spectacular Taita Hills, as the road climbs gently into a landscape of ancient forests and sweeping savanna views. The Taita and LUMO Conservancy feels like a well-kept secret: wilder and less visited than its famous neighbours, with big game and remarkable birdlife rewarding those who choose to visit.

Activities:

: The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Conservancy are two smaller parks between the giants Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park. They offer unique game drives at night and, due to their proximity, they can be easily combined. During a safari here expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and antilopes, among other species, as well as over 300 bird species. In the nearby Taita Hills you can also spot Kenya’s rarest (and most threatened) birds: the Taita Apalis, the Taita White-eye and Taita Thrush.

Accommodations:

Silver Salt Lick Safari Lodge
Gold Salt Lick Safari Lodge
Platinum Soroi Cheetah Tented Camp - Lumo Conservancy Tsavo

Drive from Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Lumo conservancy to Nairobi

Heading north from the Taita Hills, the route passes through Voi before joining the Mombasa highway. The landscape slowly shifts from rough, dry terrain to greener highlands as Nairobi comes nearer. The almost 7-hour drive moves through clear stages (scrubland, farmland, then the growing edges of the capital), making the trip feel like a steady transition through very different worlds.

Activities:

: This is your last day! Unfortunately, it's time to drive back to Nairobi to catch your flight home from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Sad to leave...? Then don't worry! We can easily add a few days of safari to your holiday or a few days on one of Kenya's stunning beaches along the coast!
