5 Days Safari Tsavo East, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Taita Hills Saltlick

Package Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destinations with our comprehensive 5 Days Tsavo East Safari, Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Taita Hills Saltlick Safari experience. This meticulously crafted itinerary combines four of Kenya’s most breathtaking national parks and reserves, offering you the perfect blend of diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and authentic African wilderness.

Day 1: Nairobi to Tsavo East National Park

Your adventure begins with a morning departure from Nairobi, heading east toward the magnificent Tsavo East National Park. This park, known for its vast savannah plains and rich biodiversity, is home to the famous “red elephants” that take on a distinctive hue from the region’s red soil. The 5 Days Tsavo East Safari portion of your journey introduces you to Kenya’s largest protected area, where wildlife viewing opportunities are plentiful.

Upon arrival, enjoy a game drive en route to your comfortable accommodation. Witness herds of elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, and numerous antelope species in their natural habitat. The park’s flat, open terrain makes wildlife spotting particularly rewarding, especially around the life-giving Galana River that attracts animals from miles around.

As the day winds down, settle into your lodge for dinner and rest, preparing for the next day’s adventures.

Day 2: Tsavo East to Amboseli National Park

After an early morning game drive and breakfast at your Tsavo East accommodation, journey southwest toward the world-famous Amboseli National Park. The 5 Days Amboseli Safari segment offers you the iconic postcard view of Africa – elephants roaming freely with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as their backdrop.

Amboseli is renowned for its large elephant herds and unobstructed views of Africa’s highest peak across the border in Tanzania. The park’s varied ecosystem includes swamps, sulphur springs, and dry plains, supporting a diverse range of wildlife including lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and over 400 bird species.

After check-in at your lodge, enjoy an afternoon game drive through this picturesque landscape, capturing unforgettable photographs of wildlife against the snowcapped mountain. Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3: Amboseli to Tsavo West National Park

Wake up to spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro (weather permitting) and enjoy a morning game drive in Amboseli, when animals are most active. After breakfast, depart for Tsavo West National Park, the next highlight in your safari adventure.

The 5 Days Tsavo West Safari portion introduces you to a dramatically different landscape – one of volcanic hills, natural springs, and dense vegetation. This varied terrain provides habitat for a wide range of wildlife while offering some of Kenya’s most stunning scenery.

A particular highlight of Tsavo West is the famous Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water filtered through volcanic rock creates an oasis in the semi-arid environment. Observe hippos, crocodiles, and various fish species from the underwater viewing chamber, a truly unique experience.

Enjoy afternoon game drives through this rugged paradise before retiring to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Tsavo West to Taita Hills Saltlick

After breakfast and a morning activity in Tsavo West, your journey continues to the enchanting Taita Hills and the renowned Salt Lick Safari Lodge. The 5 Days Taita Hills Saltlick Safari experience offers a complete change of scenery, with the lush, mist-covered Taita Hills providing a stark contrast to the savannah landscapes explored earlier.

The Salt Lick Tours feature takes you to the iconic Salt Lick Safari Lodge, uniquely designed on stilts with viewing platforms and connected by elevated walkways. This innovative design allows for continuous wildlife viewing throughout the day and night, as animals visit the natural salt licks and waterholes below the lodge.

The Taita Hills Saltlick Safari experience is particularly famous for exceptional elephant viewing opportunities, with families of these magnificent creatures often gathering in large numbers. The sanctuary also protects a variety of other species including buffalo, lions, leopards, lesser kudus, and numerous bird species.

Enjoy dinner at this remarkable lodge while watching wildlife from your elevated vantage point, followed by an overnight stay in this unique accommodation.

Day 5: Taita Hills to Nairobi

On your final day, wake up early for one last opportunity to observe wildlife at the salt licks. After breakfast, embark on a morning game drive through the sanctuary before beginning your journey back to Nairobi.

The drive back offers time to reflect on the incredible diversity of landscapes and wildlife encountered during your comprehensive safari experience. Arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon with memories and photographs to last a lifetime.
