Day 1
Mombasa/Diani/Malindi - Tsavo East National Park
You'll depart Mombasa (Departure time will depend on what part of the coast you are in) in the morning and drive inland through scenic countryside to Tsavo East National Park. You will arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or camp, followed by an afternoon game drive. Tsavo East is famous for its “red elephants,” dusted in the park’s ochre soil, as well as lions, cheetahs, and herds of antelope. The landscape is strikingly open, with sweeping plains and the Yatta Plateau — the world’s longest lava flow — stretching across the horizon. You'll return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay under the stars. Accommodation: Voi Safari Lodge or similar Meals: Lunch and Dinner.

Day 2
Drive to Amboseli National Park
You'll enjoy an early morning game drive when predators are most active, then depart for Amboseli National Park. The drive takes you through rural villages and offers glimpses of everyday Kenyan life. You will arrive in Amboseli by midday, with lunch at your lodge. In the afternoon, you will head out for a game drive across Amboseli’s open plains, where large herds of elephants roam freely. The park is renowned for its dramatic backdrop — Mount Kilimanjaro, often capped with snow, rising above the savannah. Keep an eye out for buffalo, giraffes, and predators such as lions and hyenas. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Accommodation: Amboseli Serena Lodge or similar. Luxury lodge located inside Amboseli NP All meals included Drinks not included

Day 3
Amboseli National Park
You'll spend the entire day exploring Amboseli. You will begin with a sunrise game drive, when Kilimanjaro is most visible, and the light is perfect for photography. You'll visit the swamps fed by underground springs, where hippos wallow and birdlife flourishes. Amboseli is a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 400 species recorded. Midday is ideal for relaxation at your lodge, before heading out again in the late afternoon. This is the best time to watch elephants silhouetted against the mountain as the sun sets, creating unforgettable safari memories. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Accommodation: Amboseli Serena Lodge or similar. Luxury lodge located inside Amboseli NP All meals included Drinks not included

Drive to Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast, you'll drive to Tsavo West National Park, a land of rugged beauty and dramatic contrasts. On arrival, visit Mzima Springs, a crystal‑clear oasis where hippos and crocodiles can be observed from an underwater viewing chamber. You'll continue your game drive through rolling hills, acacia woodlands, and volcanic landscapes shaped by ancient eruptions. Highlights include the Shetani lava flows, a vast black expanse of solidified magma, and the chance to spot leopards, rhinos, and diverse birdlife. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at your lodge, surrounded by the park’s wild terrain. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Accommodation: Voyager Ziwani Camp or similar.

Drive back to the Coast
You'll enjoy a final early morning game drive, soaking in the last sights of Tsavo West’s dramatic scenery. After breakfast, you will begin your journey back to Mombasa, arriving in the afternoon. Reflect on the diversity of landscapes and wildlife you’ve encountered — from Tsavo’s elephants to Amboseli’s Kilimanjaro views — before returning to the coast for relaxation or onward travel.

5.0/5Perfect family Safari to celebrate our 25th Anniversary
Our family Kenyan safari trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary was perfectly planned by Denis from the moment we landed in Nairobi, to our last day. We traveled to Ol Tukai in the Amboseli Park before setting for Serena Kilaguni in the West and our safari ended in Salt Lick Lodg a beautiful lodge in Taita wildlife conservancy.The variety of animals we saw was breathtaking. Our 25th wedding anniversary was celebrated at Kilaguni Serena with an amazing day watching the elephants and other animals come to the watrhole to take water and beautiful intimate dinner party and dancing with the entire staff during the evening. Our guide Joseph was amazin all through the journey. Made us feel very safe and always gave us options and a lot of information about Kenya and her wildlife

Great customer service, friendly staff & value for money
I used Africa Vacation Safaris for my first trip to Ojogi Ranch in May and I would like to recognize the organizers for their excellent work in making my first wild experience worth every minute of the day, the tour was more of a birthday gift to myself and it surpassed my expectations. The high point for me was the smooth run of everything, friendly people they are. I’d highly recommend this tour company especially to the people that value customer service over anything. Thank you so much Dennis & co. for the wonderful experience. Will use again, always.
