Amboseli & Tsavo National Parks Camping Safari

A 6 day camping Safari that starts in Nairobi, Kenya and ends along the warm water coast of Mombasa, Kenya.

Your Safari starts of with a visit to Amboseli National Park which is situated close to the Tanzanian Border and Mount Kilimanjaro. The Park is small is size but abundant in wildlife which makes for some great Game viewing.

from Amboseli we head to Kenya's largest National Parks Tsavo which is made up of Tsavo East and Tsavo West. The park is heavily covered in vegetation requiring more effort to spot the Game but due the small number of visitors that frequent the park it makes it a must stop.

the Safari ends in Mombasa, on the East Coast of Kenya where you can put your feet up and relax on the white sand beaches of this warm water paradise.

Day 1 - Amboseli

Depart Nairobi in the morning and drive via Namanga on the Tanzania border to reach Amboseli early in the afternoon. We view game as we proceed towards the campsite for dinner and overnight. This small park (at 392 sq km) is the second most popular park in Kenya after Masai Mara, mainly due to the spectacular backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the southern boundary.

Day 2 - Amboseli

Day spent exploring this park. The waters from melted snow drain down the mountain under lava flows and surface on the Amboseli plains, creating a green belt of swampland amidst dusty plains. Here elephant, buffalo, lion, cheetah, wildebeest, hyena, jackal, warthogs, zebra and the Maasai giraffe are likely to be seen.

Day 3 - Tsavo West

We leave soon after breakfast for Tsavo West National Park. Visit the Chyulu Hills and the Mzima Springs, which are favorite haunts of both the hippo and crocodile that can be seen from an underwater observation chamber if time permits. Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya (at 22,000 sq km). Tsavo West covers a wide variety of landscapes, from swamps and natural springs to rocky peaks, extinct volcanic cones and rolling plains. The dramatic Chyulu Hills are a collection of ancient volcanic cinder cones with splendid views of Kilimanjaro and populations of elands, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest.

Day 4 - Tsavo West

Day spent exploring the park including the nature trails. In Tsavo West birds are very common - look out for the white-bellied go-away bird, red-beaked hornbills and bateleur Eagles. There are also large populations of elephants, zebras and leopards. Look out for dung beetles rolling huge balls of elephant dung along the tracks.

Day 5 - Tsavo East

Early in the morning we drive to Tsavo East. This park was famed for its large herds of elephant covered in red dust and fine scenery. We visit the scenic Lugards Falls, Mudanda Rocks (attracts elephants in the drier season) and Aruba Dam as we view game if time permits.

The landscape in Tsavo East is flatter and drier, despite having one of Kenya's largest rivers flowing through the middle. Much of the wildlife is concentrated on the Galana River, which has plentiful crocs and hippos. Likewise, Kudus, waterbucks and dik-diks are common along the river banks.

Day 6 - Mombasa

Early morning game drive. Soon after breakfast we proceed to Mombasa arriving there in good time for pax to find their way to their hotels and the tour ends.
