Day 1 : Mombasa-Tsavo west
We depart from the Coast for our inland safari journey via the
explorers’ route, the Mombasa – Nairobi highway. The 240 km,
4-hour journey through tarmac and gravel roads will be broken
en-route on a refreshments stopover. We will enter the Tsavo
West and commence game viewing towards the direction of our
accommodation base. After check in, we will freshen up and enjoy
a buffet lunch.
Here, laws of the jungle apply. Activities cease when the sun is
up. In the late afternoon, we will venture out to the Rhino
Sanctuary with some game viewing en-route to try our chances at
spotting this endangered species. It’s game viewing with the
throws of sunset as we head back to our bases for dinner and
overnight Lodge.
Day 2: Tsavo West-Amboseli
Sunset finds us ready and out for
our pre-breakfast game viewing drive. We will visit the Mzima
Springs and explore on foot this volcanic wonder marveling at
the hippos, crocodiles, exotic fish, and tropical vegetation
together with resident and migratory bird species. We return to
our base for breakfast before checking out and proceeding
further south to the Amboseli National Park.
The 2-hour journey on gravel tracks gets us to our accommodation
bases in Amboseli. We will check in, freshen up, enjoy lunch,
and relax bidding our time for the natural circus that awakens
when the sun begins its journey down. Our game viewing drive
will be short, detailed, and comprehensive. Amboseli is small
and sparse of vegetation, animal spotting is easy and fast, the
Mt. Kilimanjaro in it’s majesty will shear off the clouds, snow
will gleam on it’s peak and Africa in all it’s splendor will be
smiling at you.
It is a sight to behold, a photographers moment
for those magical memories. We will return to the base for meals
and overnight.
Day 3: Amboseli-Tsavo East
Dawn at Amboseli: Yet another date
with Kilimanjaro. We will game watch as we exit after a hearty
breakfast. A bumpy start before we re-join the highway, Nairobi
– Mombasa, for our last leg; the Tsavo East National Park.
Arrival at our base for check-in, freshening up, lunch and
relaxation. Our next appointment with nature begins at about
1600hrs.
Our evening game drive will be slow and appreciative “no hurry
in Africa” is the norm now. No clamor for snaps, we will drink
in the serenity of the jungle while reflecting on the essence of
nature. Our driver guide will be more informative on animal
behavior and keen on pointing out characteristics. We return to
our base for dinner and overnight Lodge.
Day 4: Tsavo East-Mombasa
Dawn finds us ready for our early
morning game viewing drive. Tsavo is expansive and open. We will
explore this vastness in a relaxed style with more time spent at
our sightings. We return to our base and check out.
A last lap of honour will follow in our optional post-breakfast
game drive followed by a long lunch and a relaxed drive back to
the Coast. We will be dropped off at our respective hotel.
