The stages of your journey
Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
Transfer to Amboseli
Nairobi → Amboseli National Park
We take to the road before joining a track heading towards the Amboseli Reserve. Being the second most visited reserve in Kenya, this protected area fascinates travelers because of its rich and varied wildlife. We encounter, among others, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, hippopotamuses, antelopes, warthogs and herds of elephants. The site offers a superb view of the Kilimanjaro.
After lunch, first photo safari.
Installation at our camp, located outside the park. Return at sunset, dinner and night at the lodge. (2-night stay)
Photography Safari - Amboseli Reserve
Camera in hand, we become witnesses to scenes of wildlife: a colony of elephants nonchalantly drag their feet across the savanna; lion cubs rush toward their mother, young Maasai watching over their cattle… An unforgettable day that will close out our Kenyan adventure.
Picnic lunch.
Dinner and night at the lodge.
Transfer to Tsavo West
Parc National Amboseli → Parc National De Tsavo Ouest
After breakfast, we take the trail that leads to the Tsavo reserve. We drop our luggage at the campsite located outside the park and then set off on a photo safari through the authentic landscapes of the park. We soak in the East African atmosphere with the red color of the tracks in the middle of bushland dotted with enormous baobab trees. We find fewer animals here than in Amboseli and Nakuru, but that doesn't prevent us from having beautiful encounters.
Tsavo East Reserve
From Parc National De Tsavo Ouest
Full day in the Tsavo Park. Hippopotamus watching at Mzima Spring. Very impressive spectacle.
The Tsavo has abundant wildlife, with large herds of elephants and buffalo still found there.
Picnic lunch, dinner and overnight stay in a lodge, located on the east side of the park near the town of Voi, with magnificent views of the park. Observation post near a water point.
Transfer to Mombasa - Tiwi Beach
To Mombasa
Exit the park and head to the south beach of Mombasa via a road heavily congested with trucks. Picnic along the way.
Then transfer to the south coast, Tiwi Beach. 3-night stay with half board.
Your team will leave you at this point.

Let's talk about your adventure — Southern Amboseli
Safari guide bridging savanna and highlands, based in Nairobi
In Kenya, the savanna teaches patience. You don't just come to see the animals: you come to understand a rhythm, a light, a way of living in the wild.
