Red-dust elephants meet the shadow of Kilimanjaro in Kenya’s classic savannah wilderness.
Overview
This 3-day safari explores two of Kenya’s most contrasting and scenic national parks: Tsavo East National Park and Amboseli National Park.
Tsavo East, one of the largest parks in Kenya, is famous for its red-soil plains, large elephant herds, and the wildlife-rich Galana River ecosystem. The park offers wide-open landscapes dotted with baobab trees and abundant plains wildlife.
Amboseli National Park, located near the Kenya–Tanzania border, is renowned for its dramatic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain. The park’s wetlands and marshes support large populations of elephants, buffalo, lions, cheetahs and a variety of birdlife.
