7 Days Tsavo West Amboseli Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi to Tsavo West National Park

Your Tsavo West Safari adventure begins in Nairobi, where our experienced guide will meet you for the journey to Tsavo West National Park. The drive offers glimpses of rural Kenya and its picturesque landscapes. Upon arrival at Tsavo West, you’ll check into your accommodation before enjoying an afternoon game drive through this vast wilderness.

Tsavo West’s diverse terrain of open plains, acacia woodlands, and volcanic hills provides habitat for an impressive variety of wildlife. Look out for elephants, buffalo, leopards, and the famous “red elephants” of Tsavo, whose distinctive coloration comes from the park’s rich red soil.

Overnight: Luxury tented camp or lodge within Tsavo West

Day 2: Full Day Exploring Tsavo West

Wake up to the sounds of the African bush and prepare for a full day of exploration in Tsavo West National Park. The morning game drive offers excellent opportunities to spot predators returning from their night hunts.

Visit the spectacular Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water filtered through volcanic rock creates an oasis for hippos, crocodiles, and various fish species. The underwater viewing chamber provides a unique perspective of this thriving ecosystem.

In the afternoon, venture to the Shetani Lava Flows, a dramatic volcanic landscape formed by relatively recent eruptions, and explore the Chaimu Crater for panoramic views across the park.
