Day 1
Diani - Tsavo East National Park
After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel and depart from Diani to Tsavo East National Park. Before entering the park, have a brief stop to view the elephants at the Voi Safari Lodge waterhole. You then proceed to the Bachuma gate of Tsavo East National Park. Together with your safari guide, continue with a game viewing en-route to Ashnil Aruba Safari Lodge for lunch. Spend the afternoon at leisure by the swimming pool as you wait for the day to cool down for a late afternoon game viewing in Tsavo East National Park. On this day, you have an opportunity to view the "red elephants" of Tsavo, lions, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, and numerous species of wildlife.

Day 2
Tsavo East - Amboseli National Park
Enjoy a pre-breakfast safari in Tsavo East National Park. After breakfast, proceed to Amboseli National Park with a game drive en-route. Amboseli National Park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to wild elephants. Other attractions of the park include opportunities to meet the Maasai and visit a Maasai village. The park also has views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in Africa. Amboseli was home to Echo, perhaps the most researched elephant in the world, and the subject of many books and documentaries. He was followed for almost four decades by American conservationist Dr. Cynthia Moss. The park offers some of the best opportunities to see African wildlife because the vegetation is sparse due to the long, dry months. The protected area is home to African bush elephants, Cape buffaloes, impalas, lions, cheetahs and spotted hyenas. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 3
Amboseli National Park- Tsavo West National Park
Breakfast is followed by an extensive game drive in Amboseli National Park before heading to Tsavo West National Park. Tsavo West has a variety of wildlife such as the Eastern black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, and lion. There are also other smaller animals that can be spotted such as the bush baby, hartebeest, lesser kudu, and Maasai 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 hippo and Nile crocodile. Mzima's isolation makes both species dependent on its waters as 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. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

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. It hosts Cape buffalo, African bush elephant, leopard, lion, cheetah, Maasai giraffe, zebra, hartebeest, impala, waterbuck, Thomson's gazelle, lesser kudu, dik-dik, hyena, and other smaller animals including a diversity of birdlife.

I have nothing but good things to say about Charles and Phillip. The entire trip, we were never in the dark about what to expect or what came next. The Masai Mara reserve is a beautiful sight to see and I was happy to make a bucket list accommplishment by finally seeing the savannah. I'm very happy with my decision to choose Salina Wild adventures and I happily recommend them!

Commitment and service delivery at its best!
We took a 6 day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli national park. The tour was well planned by Charles and executed by Jared our guide. We managed to see all the big 5 both in Mara and Amboseli among other predators and grazers. We also saw hippo and crocodiles at Mara river. Jared knew the best routes to warrant sighting of of the wildlife. His sense of humour was amazing and he was always patient with us. Salina Wild Adventures did a commendable job. Highly recommended.
Pinkett · United States
Efficient, reliable and true to his words.
I had the pleasure of celebrating my second wedding anniversary this year 2023 February with Salina Wild Adventures, managed by Charles, on a 7-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. I must say that the tour was an unforgettable experience. The company's organization and planning were impeccable, and our driver Phillip was knowledgeable, charming and always punctual. The wildlife sightings were amazing, and the scenery was breathtaking. The lodges and camps provided by the company were also comfortable and well-equipped. I would highly recommend Salina Wild Adventures to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Kenya.
