3-days
Head to the border with Tanzania where 3 days full of beautiful untamed nature await you, complemented by unforgettable morning views of the snowy Kilimanjaro. You will visit two national parks, two different ecosystems. You will have enough time and peace to observe the wild life and you will meet the Masai, the inhabitants of Amboseli. This trip is intended for tourists who plan to let Kenyan nature into their hearts.
From your hotel, whether it is on the beach or in the city, our driver will pick you up between 6:00 - 7:00 in the morning. The departure depends on the current traffic situation and the location of your hotel. We will agree on the exact time and place where to pick you up and we will confirm it a day before the trip. You are heading to one of the oldest and also the largest national parks in Kenya - Tsavo East. Originally, Tsavo East and West formed one national park. However, this area was divided by a railway connecting Mombasa and Nairobi. After entering the park through the Bachuma Gate, your first morning tour begins, ending with lunch at the accommodation according to your choice. Tsavo East will surprise you with its large number of herds of red elephants. This typical coloration happens as they dust themselves with the local red soil, which by the way creates a picturesque background of local landscapes with equally strongly colored termite mounds in the foreground and silhouettes of withered trees on the horizon. For the elephants, rolling in the red soil serves as their protection from heat and intrusive insects. In addition to elephants you will certainly come across other exotic animals of the African savannah, such as lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, antelopes, baboons and many colorful birds and numerous ostrich families. After a short rest you head for an afternoon tour which will last until sunset. After returning to your accommodation, dinner will be ready waiting for you. There is also a swimming pool which you can enjoy. From the accommodation you can also observe undisturbed animals coming to a nearby watering hole. Early in the morning you will set out for another morning tour of the park, after which you will return to the accommodation for breakfast and check-out. Here it is possible to modify your program. We can postpone the morning departure for after breakfast and check-out and then you do not have to return to the accommodation. It depends on your wishes. We can agree in advance on the 1st day of the trip. During the whole trip we will be available for you (via phone, Whatsapp, email). You will leave Tsavo East and move to Amboseli.
The park is located in the province of the Rift Valley near the Tanzanian border, northwest of and with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Its snowy peak rises above the hot savannah where zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, impalas graze. Amboseli lies around a dry-out lake of the same name. It may therefore seem that its surroundings will be desolate. However, the opposite is true. Amboseli boasts large groundwater reserves and thanks to this there are several flowering meadows around the dry lake, which are complemented by palm and acacia groves, as well as rocky areas, swamps and endless savannas. You will arrive in Amboseli at lunch time which will be ready for you in your chosen accommodation. You will also spend the last night of your trip in this lodge or a campsite. After lunch, there is a short rest after which you will go for an afternoon tour of the park all the way until sunset with a view of Kilimanjaro. You will return back to the accommodation for dinner.
In the morning after breakfast on the way from the park, there will be time for a shorter tour, check-out from the park and then the transfer back to your hotel.

Kilimanjaro is an ice-covered mountain massif, formed by three, now inactive stratovolcanoes – Kibo (5,895 m), Mawenzi (5,149 m) and Shira (3,962 m). It is located in Tanzania and partly in Kenya. Uhuru, in Kibo’s crater, is the highest peak in Africa. The Maasai name of this mountain is Oldoinyo Oibor – White mountain, Swahili name is Kilima Njaro – Shining mountain. Since 1973, Mount Kilimanjaro has been part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, which was declared a UNESCO monument in 1987.
The Lemosho route on the west is considered the best choice. The success rate of reaching the top is up to 95%. The number of tourists is significantly smaller here than, for example, on the Marangu route. It also offers enough time to acclimatise, increasing your chances of success.
The route starts at a lower altitude, you will progress through the rainforest and above it will connect with the Machame route.
1-day
Shimba hills is a national reserve located just 33 km from Mombasa. It is an area of coastal rainforests, a place with many rare plants and countless birds. Shimba hills are also known for their high concentration of elephants and the occurrence of the rare Sable antelope. We recommend the trip especially to tourists who are interested in one-day safari trip and do not want to spend time in a car on the way to the parks. As it is a rainforest, observing animals in lush vegetation is very interesting and unique.
We will always choose accommodation together with you based on your requirements.Recommended campsites and hotels.
