Diani – Tsavo East – Tsavo West Safari

Journey from Diani Beach to Tsavo East & Amboseli

3 Days, 2 Nights: Tsavo East National Park – Amboseli National Park

Starting from/returning to Diani Beach area resorts. We’ll pick you up from your hotel.

Add a safari adventure to your Diani beach vacation. It’s only a 3-hour drive to Kenya’s largest reserve, Tsavo East National Park. There’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy amongst the rugged landscape here. Tsavo East is known for its lions, but there is also leopard, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, impala, zebra and over 500 species of birds in this renowned park.

In contrast to Tsavo’s vast stretches of savannah, Amboseli National Park promises a different safari experience. A smaller and open reserve, the park’s size makes it easier to spot game. Amboseli is known as the best place in the world to view free ranging elephants. It is also framed by the massive vista of Mt. Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest peak.

From your Diani Beach or south coast resort we will set out early, heading for Mombasa and then travel along the scenic Mombasa-Nairobi highway. In just about 3 hours you’ll get your first glimpse of Tsavo’s red clay soil at its southern gate.

You’ll know you’re not at the beach anymore when Tsavo’s immense landscape opens before you. There will be time for game drives this afternoon and stops at Mudanda Rock and Aruba Dam, two reservoirs which attract hundreds of thirsty animals. You’ll be sleeping tonight in the park at the safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.

Day 2 Tsavo East – Amboseli

We’ll arise with the sun and enjoy an early breakfast – then another game drive through Tsavo as we leave the park and head to Amboseli Park. Accommodations for this evening will be at Amboseli and you can lunch and relax there after the drive.

The afternoon will see us traversing the park under the lofty peak of Kilimanjaro. There will be plenty of elephant sightings as well as chances to see lion, cheetah, Masai giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and over 300 bird species.

If you wish, we can arrange a visit to a local Maasai Village to meet its people and learn about their herding lifestyle.

Day 3 Amboseli – Diani Beach

It’s another early day, enjoying the African sunrise and (weather permitting) views of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro as we breakfast.

Another game drive through the park provides final opportunities for wildlife viewing as we depart Amboseli, heading back to the Kenya coast and the Diani resort area.

All-Inclusive. Your 3-Day Tsavo East/Amboseli safari includes all ground transportation, accommodation in a choice of economy, comfort or luxury safari lodges/tented camps, park entrance fees, game drives, all meals and pickup/drop off at your Diani and south coast locations.
