5 Days Tsavo East, Tsavo West & Amboseli

The whole southern circuit, at a proper pace

  • Lodge
  • Tented camp

Tsavo is the size of Wales, and the eastern and western halves are genuinely different — dry red plains on one side, lava flows and spring-fed pools on the other. Give it four nights with Amboseli on the end and you see the south of Kenya properly.

Trip highlights

  • Mzima Springs in Tsavo West, with an underwater viewing chamber for hippo and barbel
  • The Shetani lava flow and the Chyulu Hills
  • Tsavo East's red elephants and the Galana river
  • Amboseli's elephant families under Kilimanjaro
  • Optional finish in Nairobi instead of returning to the coast
