Amazing Experience

Overview

Trip Overview

This 5-day Kenyan vacation takes you to two of the nation’s most popular national parks. It features first-class accommodations, small group tours, and is a great add-on to a longer stay in Kenya. 

From Nairobi, ride the train to Tsavo West, where the diversity of Kenya’s landscape is most apparent. In Tsavo West, you’ll stay at the 4-star Kilaguni Serena Lodge, the first lodge built in the park. Located in the Chyulu Hills at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the lodge has convenient access to the open plains, semi-desert scrub, bushy woodland, and rocky outcrops that define the park. Head on morning and afternoon game drives to spot red elephants, oryx, bushbucks, and lions stalking prey or sun-tanning on the warm rocks. At each day’s end, watch the sunset over the savannah while enjoying sundowners before falling asleep to the peaceful sounds of the wild. 

After exploring Tsavo West, depart for Amboseli National Park, sitting on the southern border in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. In addition to its proximity to Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is renowned for its large population of elephants. Staying at the 4-star Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, with its unimpeded views of the mountain and enviable position in a secluded grove of acacia trees, you’ll head on game drives through the park to see the herds of elephants crossing the savannah, leopards in the midst of the hunt, and buffalos fording streams. 

At the end of your stay, connect back to Nairobi to continue your onward journey.
