3 Days Amboseli & Tsavo East safari from Nairobi to Kenya beach
Embark on this exciting safari to 2 of the best wildlife parks in Kenya famous for large herds of elephants and beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Safari starts from Nairobi to your Kenya beach resort in Mombasa, Malindi, Watamu or Diani beach.
Day 1: Nairobi to Tsavo East National Park
Your adventure begins bright and early as our guide picks you up from your Nairobi hotel at 6:00 AM. The excitement of the day is palpable as we embark on a scenic road journey, traveling along the bustling Nairobi-Mombasa highway.
As we make our way toward Amboseli National Park, keep your eyes peeled for the majestic silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the distance. This iconic peak, the highest in Africa, is a sight to behold. As we approach the park, the awe-inspiring mountain will serve as a breathtaking backdrop, setting the stage for the unforgettable experiences that lie ahead.
Upon entering Amboseli, you will be greeted by the sight of hundreds of free-ranging elephants, peacefully foraging in their natural habitat. The park is renowned for its large elephant population, providing you with incredible opportunities for close encounters with these gentle giants.
After a delightful lunch at a comfortable lodge or picnic site within the park, prepare for an exhilarating afternoon game drive. The park, although relatively small, is teeming with wildlife and features a diverse array of ecosystems. Its sparse vegetation makes it easier to spot animals, as they roam freely across the grasslands.
The clear sky and warm sunshine may reveal a stunning view of Mount Kilimanjaro shedding its clouds, with its snow-capped peaks glimmering brilliantly in the afternoon light.
As you soak in the sights and sounds of the African landscape, remember that this is not just a game drive—it’s an opportunity to connect with nature in its purest form. The beauty of Africa will envelop you, providing a memorable experience that is perfect for photography enthusiasts seeking to capture the magic of the continent.
This is your moment to create lasting memories, so have your camera ready and enjoy the wonder of Amboseli National Park, where nature’s tapestry unfolds in spectacular fashion.

One of the highlights of our exploration may be witnessing Tsavo’s iconic red-dust elephants.
