Day 1: Mombasa (Diani) – Tsavo West National Park
Your Kenya Safari Package begins bright and early with a 6:30 am pick-up from your hotel in Mombasa or Diani Beach. Leaving behind the coastal breezes of the Indian Ocean, you head inland toward the wild heart of Tsavo West National Park. The drive takes you through changing landscapes—lush coastal vegetation gives way to semi-arid scrubland, volcanic hills, and the wide open savannah. By mid-morning, you enter Tsavo West, one of Kenya’s most dramatic parks, celebrated for its rugged terrain, lava fields, and diverse wildlife.
Upon arrival, you enjoy an en-route game drive as you make your way to Ngulia Safari Lodge. The thrill begins immediately: elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and zebras often appear along the road, while birdlife thrives in the thorny bushes and acacia woodlands. After check-in at the lodge, you settle down for a hearty lunch and a short rest.
At 4:00 pm, you set out for an afternoon game drive. Tsavo West is known for its unique blend of wildlife and landscape features. You visit the famous rhino sanctuary, home to black rhinos under strict protection. The sanctuary offers a rare chance to see these endangered giants up close, an unforgettable highlight of any Kenya Safari Package. The park is also home to lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hippos, making every game drive an exciting treasure hunt. If you are lucky, you may spot the elusive leopard that is often seen around Ngulia Lodge, especially at dusk.
By evening, you return to the lodge where dinner is served, and you can relax while listening to the sounds of the African night. With the wilderness stretching endlessly around you, the first day of your Kenya Safari Package leaves you with memories of wild landscapes and close encounters with rare species.

Day 2: Tsavo West – Amboseli National Park
After an early breakfast, you depart Ngulia Lodge for a morning game drive through Tsavo West. Today begins with a visit to Mzima Springs, one of the park’s most remarkable natural features. Crystal-clear waters bubble up from underground streams, creating pools where hippos wallow and fish swim in full view. Crocodiles often bask along the banks, while monkeys chatter in the trees above. Mzima Springs is not only a stunning sight but also a lifeline for wildlife, a reminder of the delicate balance of ecosystems in this region.
From Tsavo West, your Kenya Safari Package continues toward Amboseli National Park. The drive takes you across open plains and Maasai homelands, where red-robed herders tend their cattle against the backdrop of vast horizons. By midday, you arrive at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, check in, and enjoy lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive.
Amboseli is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, famous for its herds of elephants that roam in the thousands. The park lies at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain, and the snowcapped peak dominates the skyline. This setting makes Amboseli one of the most photographed parks in Kenya, with elephants marching across the plains framed by the mountain’s majestic slopes.
Your afternoon game drive explores Amboseli’s swamps, grasslands, and acacia woodlands. Alongside elephants, you may spot lions resting in the shade, cheetahs stalking gazelles, and hyenas scavenging in the distance. Herds of wildebeest, zebras, and giraffes graze peacefully, while flocks of flamingoes and pelicans add color to the wetlands. As the sun sets, painting Kilimanjaro pink and gold, you return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Amboseli – Mombasa (Diani)
On the final day of your Kenya Safari Package, you wake early for one last game drive in Amboseli. The morning is a magical time in the park. The air is crisp, Kilimanjaro often appears clear and unobstructed, and wildlife is most active. You may find lions returning from the night’s hunt, elephants gathering at the swamps, and herds of antelope grazing as the day begins. This farewell drive is your final chance to capture the essence of Amboseli, with its spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife.
After breakfast back at the lodge, you check out and begin the return journey to Mombasa. The drive takes you once again through Kenya’s diverse countryside, with a picnic lunch provided en route. Along the way, you enjoy an “en-route game drive” as you leave Amboseli, keeping your eyes open for any last sightings of wildlife. By late afternoon, you arrive back in Mombasa or Diani Beach, where you are dropped off either at your hotel or at Moi International Airport for your onward travel. Although short, this Kenya Safari Package delivers a complete and diverse experience. From the rugged volcanic landscapes of Tsavo West with its rhino sanctuary and Mzima Springs, to the endless elephant herds and Kilimanjaro views of Amboseli, every day has offered new and unforgettable highlights. This safari is the perfect complement to a coastal holiday, combining the serenity of the beach with the drama of the African wilderness.
