Day 1 – Mombasa to Tsavo West National Park
Your 5-day Kenya safari begins with a scenic drive from the coast through rural Kenya. Enter Tsavo West National Park, known for its rugged beauty, ancient lava flows, and the mystical Mzima Springs — home to hippos, crocodiles, and shimmering fish seen through an underwater observatory.
Enjoy an afternoon game drive in search of elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and perhaps a shy leopard.

Day 3 – Explore Amboseli National Park
Start your day with a sunrise game drive — a magical moment as the morning light bathes Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peaks.
