4 Days Kilimanjaro Explorer
Tsavo East, Amboseli, and Tsavo West, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895 metres on the horizon.
Three parks, the great mountain, and a rhino sanctuary.
This four-day route takes in Tsavo East, Amboseli, and Tsavo West. The plains game is plentiful, herds of elephant throughout, and with luck, lion, cheetah, and leopard. Towering over it all is Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 metres the tallest mountain in Africa, rising behind the Amboseli swamps.
There is more than wildlife here. You cross the dramatic Shetani lava flow, stop at the clear pools of Mzima Springs, and visit the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary in Tsavo West. Ever had your photograph taken with a Maasai? On this trip you have the chance.
The itinerary.
A sample four-day route. Pick-up times, lodges, and pace can all be adjusted to suit your group.
Mombasa to Tsavo East National Park
Depart the coast and enter Tsavo East through Bachuma Gate, spotting game along the way. You reach Voi Safari Lodge in time for lunch, then head out on an afternoon game drive across the park’s open red plains.
Tsavo East to Amboseli National Park
After breakfast you depart for Amboseli National Park. Sitting at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the park holds a wealth of wildlife and is particularly known for its elephants. You arrive in time for lunch at Sentrim Amboseli, then head out on an afternoon game drive across the plains.
Amboseli to Tsavo West National Park
An early departure takes you east, across the spectacular Shetani lava flow and past Mzima Springs. Spotting game as you go, you reach Ngulia Lodge, perched on the slope of the Ngulia Hills, 2,000 feet above the plains. Each year between October and November, millions of migrating birds flying south over Kenya are drawn down low around the lodge’s night-time lights, in their thousands.
After lunch at the lodge, an afternoon game drive includes a visit to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.
Tsavo West National Park to Mombasa
Tea or coffee is served early before you set out on a morning game drive. Return to the lodge for breakfast, then depart for Mombasa, where you are dropped at your beach hotel.
