DAY BY DAY ITINERARY:

DAY 0: JOMO KENYATTA AIRPORT AND TRANSFER TO NAIROBI

You will leave from Nairobi for the first destination not later than 6 a.m.

We recommend you to stay one night in Nairobi the day before your safari. You can use this time visiting the city and its main attractions: David Sheldrick Orphanage, Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum. Or you can just rest and refresh up after your flight.

You will meet your guide/driver on the following day , leaving for the first destination.

We wish to suggest you some accomodation you would love:

DAY 1: AMBOSELI

Today leave Nairobi and head to the famous Amboseli National Park. Everyone wants to experience the magnificent views over the border to Kilimanjaro, and feel the romantic atmosphere that comes from being in its presence.

The National Park has a thriving elephant population which sets you up for that ‘must have’ photograph in the foreground of the stunning snow-capped Mountain.

Leaving from Nairobi, the distance to Amboseli won’t be very long: about 4 hours drive. You will reach Amboseli entrance at around 10/10,30 a.m., in time to have still a fantastic morning game drive before to reach the lodge for lunch.

This will be the longest transfer (except the one you will have on the last day, going to the coast).

We don’t like tarmac roads, especially the Mombasa – Nairobi highway which is very busy,  and we always try our best to avoid it when it is possible. In this case Amboseli, Tsavo West and Lumo Sanctuary are very close to each other and this allows us to reach our goal.

After morning game drive in the middle of elephant herds, we stop at the lodge for lunch and resting.

Afternoon game drive.

Dinner and overstay at the lodge (inside the park).

This is the accomodation we have selected for you:

DAY 2: TSAVO WEST

Today we leave Amboseli and Kilimanjaro and we head to the nearby Tsavo West National Park.

The distance between Amboseli and Tsavo West is about 1 hour and a half, and you will travel on a secondary road in the middle of Maasai villages and plantations.

As you approach Tsavo West National Park you will observe the Green Hills of Africa, so beloved by Hernest Hemingway. You will then travel through an expanse of lush, jungle-like forest where you may encounter elephants, kudu, eland and oryx.

And just before reaching your camp, you will visit the moon-like landscape at Shetani Lava Flow, a vast expanse of folded black lava which spreads for 50 sq km across the savannah at the foot of Chyulu Hills.

You will arrive at your camp by lunchtime.

In the afternoon, you’ll stretch your legs while exploring Mzima Springs on foot, a series of natural springs inhabited by hippos and crocodiles. The natural filtration process made by the volcanic lava rocks of Chyulu Hills gives rise to Mzima’s famously clear stream, which flows through a series of pools and rapids.

You will end the day with another game drive en route to your camp.

Dinner and overstay.

We have selected the best accomodation for you. The first is a high level tented camp, while the second one is a luxury tented camp:

DAY 3: TAITA HILLS AND LUMO SANCTUARY

Morning game drive in Tsavo West searching for wildlife and the elusive leopard that lives in that area, just before to cross the southern part of the park. You will reach the exclusive Lumo Wildlife Sanctuary among Taita Hills in the late morning.

Game drive in the Sanctuary up to lunch time, when you will reach your lodge.

During midday hours you can rest up in your tent and enjoy uninterrupted views over the endless savannah, the perfect spot to quietly observe or contemplate the wilderness.

During sunset, enjoy an unforgettable sundowner and after that you will start the night game drive, looking for nocturnal wildlife, like genets, african civets, bushbabies and, yes!, predators on a hunt! If you are lucky you may spot the elusive melanistic serval, common in this area but very rare in Africa!

You will end with a fabulous dinner at the lodge.

We have selected the best accomodation for you.

DAY 4: YOUR JOURNEY ENDS

Your last morning game drive within Lumo Sanctuary has arrived.

You will leave from the Sanctuary just after lunch, at around 13.00 and you will reach the coast after about 5 hours drive.

Your Beach Holiday has started: you may choose to stay at our exclusive Nyumba ya Paka Boutique Hotel or another place.
