Amboseli
National Park – Tsavo National Park (5 Days/4
Nights) Kenya Safari
Our adventures in
the bush begin with spectacular Amboseli National
Park. Romantically situated in the foothills of Mount
Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is famous for its tremendous
variety of big game. We arrived at Amboseli by road
at lunch time. Our delightful lodge is perfectly located
in the very centre of the reserve.
We awaken to the sights
and sounds of big game country and, if we’re
lucky, to a view of Kilimanjaro often unclouded in
the early morning sky. In addition to elephant, antelope,
zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and the rare black rhino,
Amboseli is sought after by travelers in the know
for its breathtaking scenery and easily approachable
wildlife. Just after daybreak, we venture into the
crisp morning air in search of the great herds. Our
game drives are sure to reveal great wonders.
Awaiting
us at our next stop is a sheltered oasis Tsavo National
Park, with special attractions including Mzima Springs
& underwater hippo watching, Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary
among others. Tsavo National Park is unique and its
habitat include open plains alternating with Savannah
bush and semi desert scrub, acacia woodlands; rocky
ridges and outcrops and more extensive ranges and
isolated hills; belts of riverine vegetation; palm
thickets and mountain forest.
