Join us on this extended safari to Kenya’s Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks. Tsavo is one of Kenya’s largest national parks with an area of approximately 22,000 square kilometers. It is home to a diverse range of animals, including the famous red elephants, lions, zebras, and giraffes. The Nairobi-Mombasa highway divides the park into two parts, with Tsavo East on the eastern side and Tsavo West on the western side. The two parks provide distinct experiences for tourists, with Tsavo East having more open grassland and Tsavo West being more rugged and forested. Our knowledgeable guides ensure that you do not miss any of the parks’ incredible wildlife and scenic attractions.
A must-see sight in Tsavo West is the Mzima Springs, where you may see hippos and crocodiles. Additionally, Tsavo West is known for its volcanic origin. A stop at Shetani Lava flows will leave you speechless. The relics of volcanic eruptions are an eight-kilometer-long, 1.6-kilometer-wide, and five-meter-deep black lava flow. They were the topic of legends among local people, who named the flow “shetani,” which translates to “evil” in Kiswahili after it erupted from the earth when it was only 240 years old. Climbing the flow is difficult since the thick, black rocks are made up of irregular chunks of solid magma.
Amboseli National Park is a nature lover’s heaven. Its panoramic views are astounding, and it’s no surprise that it is Kenya’s second most popular tourist destination. The park borders Tanzania and lies southwest of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, providing an amazing backdrop during your game drive. The park is well-known for its big elephant population, and it is likely the best spot in Africa to witness these gentle giants up close and personal. Other wildlife in the park include zebras, giraffes, impalas, ostriches, lions, cheetahs, buffalos, warthogs, and over 400 bird species.
Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and Amboseli are top destinations for anyone who enjoys nature and adventure, thanks to the breathtaking scenery and abundance of wildlife. Let’s go!
