Amboseli, Tsavo National parks and Mombasa Wildlife Tour
This is a 6 day Kenya safari package from Amboseli national park and the town of Mombasa and include:
- Amboseli national park
- Tsavo West national park
- Tsavo East national park
- Mombasa City tour
Day 1 – Amboseli National Park Tour
Leave Nairobi in the morning and pass via Namanga on the Tanzania border to reach Amboseli early in the afternoon. We view game as we encounter 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 extraordinary backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the southern boundary.
Day 2 – Amboseli National Park Safari
On this day will be adventuring the 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. Primates such as cheetah, elephant, lion, warthogs, wildebeest, hyena, jackal, zebra, buffalo and the Maasai giraffe are likely to be seen.
Day 3 – Tsavo West national park tour
After the early morning breakfast will depart for Tsavo West National Park. Visit the Mzima Springs and the Chyulu Hills which are suitable for viewing both the hippo and crocodile that can be seen from an underwater observation chamber if time permits. Dinner and overnight at the campsite (FB).
Day 4 – Tsavo West national park safari
This day will be spent exploring the park including the nature trails. In Tsavo West birds are very common – look out for the red-beaked hornbills, white-bellied go-away bird and bateleur Eagles. There are also large populations of leopards, elephants and zebras. Look out for dung beetles undulating huge balls of elephant dung along the tracks.
Day 5 – Tsavo East national park tour
Early in the morning after breakfast we depart to Tsavo East national park. This park was famous 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 timeallows.
The landscape in Tsavo East national park is flatter and drier, regardless of having one of Kenya’s largest rivers flowing through the middle. Much of the wildlife harbours on the Galana River, which has overflowing crocs and hippos. Likewise, waterbucks, Kudus and dik-diks are common along the river banks.
Day 6 – Mombasa
After the early morning breakfast, then proceed to early morning game drive. Then after lunch we will proceed to Mombasa arriving there in good time for airport transfers back home.
