Kilimanjaro Elephants, Red Elephants of Tsavo & Exclusive Conservancy Finale
Overview
This itinerary explores three distinct ecosystems in southern Kenya: Amboseli National Park, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary & Tsavo East National Park.
Amboseli National Park
Internationally renowned for its large free-ranging elephant herds and postcard views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli offers classic open savannah landscapes and reliable wildlife sightings. The park supports four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo — with elephants being its signature attraction.
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
A private conservancy bordering Tsavo West, Taita Hills offers a more intimate and less crowded safari setting. It supports four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo — and allows optional night game drives for nocturnal wildlife viewing.
Tsavo East National Park
One of Kenya’s largest and oldest parks, Tsavo East is famous for its “red elephants” dusted in the park’s distinctive iron-rich soil. The park supports four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo — and is known for vast landscapes, dramatic river systems and excellent predator sightings.
Together, these destinations provide scenic diversity, varied wildlife density and a seamless transition from wilderness to coastline.
