Day 1: Karibu Kenia, welcome to Kenya!
Karibu Kenya! Welcome to Kenya! Arriving at the airport, you will be picked up and stay overnight in a hotel in Nairobi city.
Situated in along the Nairobi River in beautiful Kenya, the capital of Nairobi is East Africa's most cosmopolitan city. It serves as an excellent starting point for African safari trips around Kenya.
Nairobi is Africa’s 4th largest city and is a vibrant and exciting place, and although it has developed a reputation which keeps tourist visits brief, there are some fascinating attractions: its cafe culture, unbridled nightlife, the National Museum, the Karen Blixen Museum and most notably just 20 minutes from the city center, the wild lions and buffalo roam in the world’s only urban game reserve. Make sure you pay a visit to the elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Day 2-3: Visits in Amboseli National Park
After breakfast you will drive to Amboseli National Park. This park seats at the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro the highest Mountain in Africa. On a clear day the mountain can be seen clearly. Amboseli also has the highest numbers of elephants and has been the elephant research center for many years. Check in to Oltukai Lodge and enjoy beautiful views on Mt Kilimanjaro from your bedroom.
After lunch and quick itinerary briefing, you will go for an evening game drive. Return to the lodge for dinner.
The next day you spend a full day in Amboseli National Park to experience this beautiful and smaller park than the mara. You will see all the big five and many elephants. During the drive you have an opportunity of having an unique Maasai village experience.
More about Amboseli National Park
Located in the southern reaches of Kenya, the Amboseli National Park is renowned for its excellent variety of wildlife such as Masaai giraffe, elephant, lion, and cheetah and not surprisingly it is one of Kenya's most popular parks.
The landscape of Amboseli is dominated by the majestic snowcap of Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as open plains, acacia woodland, swamps, and the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok. The birding is excellent, especially closer to the lakes and swamps.
The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to large herds of elephants among other wildlife species. Other attractions of the park include opportunities to meet the Maasai people and soak up spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Day 4: Gamedrive in Tsavo West National Park

More about Tsavo West National Park
Located in Kenya's Coast Province, Tsavo West National Park stretches for over 9000 square kilometers and is one of Kenya’s most rewarding parks. Tsavo West is covered in fairly thick bush but has spectacular natural scenery which includes volcanic cones, swamps, rocky outcrops and lava flows, mountains, river forest, plains, lakes, natural springs and wooded grassland. Although the game is not as easy to spot as in Tsavo East, it’s all here.
