Spend the afternoon at leisure by the swimming pool as you wait for the sun to cool down for a late afternoon game viewing in Tsavo East National Park. This day you have an opportunity of viewing the 'red elephants' of Tsavo, lions, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, and numerous species of wildlife. Visit Aruba Dam, where a number of aquatic birds could be seen. Return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2
Tsavo East National Park - Amboseli National Park
Enjoy a pre-breakfast safari in Tsavo East National Park. After breakfast, depart Tsavo East for Amboseli National Park with a game drive as you exit the park. Amboseli National Park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants and view Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in Africa. It is home to iconic wildlife, hosting four members of the Big Five, from lions to the graceful zebras, and countless number of bird species in its swamps and wetlands. Amboseli is celebrated for its exceptional opportunities for close encounters with free-roaming members of the Big Five. Arrive in Amboseli in good time for a hot lunch and relaxation. Late in the afternoon when the sun has cooled off, proceed to the park for an extensive game viewing until 18:30 hrs.

Day 3
Amboseli National Park to Tsavo West National Park
Breakfast is followed by an extensive game drive in Amboseli National Park before exiting for Tsavo West National Park which has a variety of wildlife, such as eastern black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, and lion. There are also other smaller animals that can be spotted in the park, such as the bushbaby, hartebeest, lesser kudu, and Masai giraffe. Apart from wildlife, you will visit the Mzima Springs which is one of Tsavo's most popular wildlife attractions owing to its resident populations of hippos and Nile crocodiles. Mzima's isolation makes both species dependent on its waters: other sources are too distant for them to reach by overland travel. The hippos also sustain an entire food chain. They browse the surrounding savannah by night and return to Mzima's pools by day, where their dung fertilizes the water. Fruiting trees such as the date, raffia palms, water berries, and figs grow beside the water. Luxury lodge located inside Tsavo West NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary is a privately-owned wildlife sanctuary and national park in Kenya. It is located in Taita-Taveta County approximately 220 kilometers from Mombasa. The sanctuary covers an area of 28,000 acres (110sq km) and is adjacent to Tsavo West National Park and the LUMO Community Wildlife Sanctuary.

Awesome experience with Back of Africa. Allan and George were super helpful and we had a great time on our 5 day safari through Amboseli & Tsabo East/West. Thanks a lot! Can only recommend.

The safari was an unforgettable adventure with stunning nature and fascinating wildlife encounters!
Our experience with Back of Africa Adventure was absolutely fantastic! Communication was smooth and professional from the start—every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. The service was outstanding, with a friendly and well-organized team that went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. The value for money was excellent, as the tour was perfectly planned with incredible experiences. What impressed us the most was their reliability and dedication. The organizer was always available to help us with any questions, responding immediately. When we had an issue upon arrival at the airport, we called him privately, and he assisted us right away, which we truly appreciated. The safari itself was breathtaking, with amazing wildlife sightings and stunning landscapes. Our driver was fantastic—he was extremely friendly, spoke excellent English, and put in great effort to find and show us as many animals as possible. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of throughout the journey. We highly recommend Back of Africa Adventure to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Professional and have good experience about safari
We had a fantastic, incredible, fun trip to Kenya - all the superlatives! We went to five camps and Allan planned the trip perfectly, particularly the order of our itinerary, The destinations and accommodations were great too. Our tour guide and drvier Hudson Obindi. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. every time he stoped at a very good position to help us to view animal more clean. We did saw the great migration as waves of wildebeest and zebras make their journey to crossed Mara river. We saw millions of Flamingos in BoGoria lake. Of cause many many animals like big five. We traveling in different landscapes, we went Hells Gate National park onto Lions Hill and also down the deep trenches there. we really satisfied for their operation and they are highly recommended.

Allan was a complete joy to work with!
I started planning this trip in September of 2022 for 14 people. We customized the trip for the things we wanted to see. Allan and I probably sent close to 200 emails over the year of planning and he always responded within 24 hours. We had someone cancel a month before and he quickly assisted in the agreement refund policy and rearranged rooms. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our guides George and Obama were extremely professional, personable, very knowledgeable and we would definitely request them again. We spent the first 3 days in Nairobi - Lake Nakuru - Maasai Mara - Amboseli - Tsavo West & East - Diani Beach to end with some R&R. We saw the big 5, went to a Masai Mara village, planned a bush dinner and a hippo breakfast. We drove to all the places except one were we took a flight from Masai Mara to Amboseli. The drives took us through the countryside of Kenya which we loved seeing. The drives could be long for some so maybe think of more smaller flights between parks but we loved seeing Kenya. The only thing I would change was adding a few more days to enjoy some more time at the beautiful lodges. The food and drinks at the lodges was excellent. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Asante Sana Allan, George and Obama!
