Get a taste for Kenya's spectacular landscapes on this 3-day adventure to Amboseli National Park—with Kilimanjaro views—and Tsavo National Park West's rugged lava flows. You'll travel with a private guide in a customized safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for easier game viewing
Named after the river Tsavo, flowing from west to east through the national park. It is quite mountainous and wet, with swamps, Lake Jipe, the four enchanting natural Mzima springs, and Shetani lava flows.
Within the abundance of wildlife, there’s a black rhino sanctuary. So you are likely to see the critically endangered eastern black rhinoceros and the rest of the big five - the maneating maneless lions, giant elephants, cape buffalos, and leopards. Tall necks of the biggest giraffes in Africa, cute bushbabies, herds of hartebeest, cheetah, wild dogs, crocodiles, and much more are just waiting for you to admire!

Encountering Africa’s Big Five over three days was an unforgettable experience for us. The overnight stays in Amboseli and Tsavo West allowed us to immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes and wildlife, with each dawn bringing new sights and sounds. Our only suggestion would be to include more time for stargazing at night, as the sky was breathtakingly clear and added to the magic of our safari.

From the moment I arrived in Nairobi, the excitement of encountering Africa’s Big Five took hold, especially during the thrilling game drives in Amboseli and Tsavo West. The meals were a delightful surprise, featuring local flavors that made each dining experience memorable, though I would have loved a bit more variety on the last night.
