5 Days Amboseli & Tsavo West Safari

Day Itinerary

Rising early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit, we set off for another stimulating game drive.

Amboseli is an excellent place to view a multitude of wildlife, including everything from Giraffes to

Baboons. (Optional visit to a Masai village is planned after breakfast)

Maasai warriors are famously known as the proud nomadic tribe whose legendary prowess in battle and singlehanded acts of bravery in fights with the wild animals are known across the world. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.

Midday finds us at our lodge for lunch and afternoon rest, followed by another extensive game drive.
