Arrive in Mombasa, where warm coastal breezes and the scent of the Indian Ocean welcome you to paradise.
Meet your guide and transfer to your beachfront hotel, set along one of Kenya’s longest stretches of powdery white sand.

Spend the rest of the day unwinding—dip your toes into turquoise waters, bask in the tropical sun, or relax with a cocktail as gentle waves roll onto the shore.

Meals: Dinner

Day 3 : INTO THE WILD – MOMBASA TO TSAVO EAST NATIONAL PARK

After an early breakfast, depart the coast and trace the storied rail corridor inland, swapping Mombasa’s palm-lined shores for the wide horizons of Tsavo East National Park—Kenya’s largest protected area and a sanctuary of raw, untamed beauty.

At Buchuma Gate, stand in your open-topped 4x4 and breathe the red-dust air. Scan the sweeping savanna for the famed “Red Elephants of Tsavo”, tawny lions, Cape buffalo, and graceful antelope threading between thorn trees and lugga riverbeds.

Arrive at your safari lodge for lunch and a short rest. As afternoon light softens, roll out on an evening game drive to capture golden-hour sightings—elephants dust-bathing, giraffes silhouetted against the horizon, and raptors riding the thermals as the sun sinks to ember.

Safari Notes

• Wear neutral layers; mornings/evenings can be cool, midday warm.
• A soft-case daypack for water, hat, sunscreen, and binoculars is ideal.
• Dust protection (scarf/buff) helps during open-vehicle drives.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Day 4 : FROM THE SAVANNAH TO THE SHADOWS OF KILIMANJARO – TSAVO EAST TO AMBOSELI

Wake to the hush of the African bush and set course for Amboseli National Park, an icon of East Africa where broad salt pans and reed-lined marshes unfold beneath snow-dusted Mount Kilimanjaro.

En route, pause at historic Hunters Lodge near the site of the famed Man-Eaters of Tsavo—a chilling chapter in Kenya’s railway lore that still stirs the imagination of travellers crossing this wild corridor.

Arrive at your Amboseli lodge in time for lunch. Cool off with a swim or simply soak up views of acacia-dotted plains before rolling out on an afternoon game drive as the light turns honey-gold across the savanna.

Watch for Amboseli’s celebrated elephant herds—often striding in stately lines across dusty lakebeds, pausing to spray marsh water across their backs. Keep an eye out for gazelles, giraffes, and the elusive cheetah as you traverse open plains and seasonally flooded wetlands. Return to camp for dinner under the stars, with Kilimanjaro’s silhouette etched against the night.

Game Drive Tips

• Early and late light are best for photography—pack a lens cloth for dust.
• Binoculars enhance distant Kilimanjaro views and wildlife spotting.
• A light jacket is handy: breezes across the lakebeds can feel cool at dusk.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Day 5 : INTO THE HILLS – AMBOSELI TO TAITA HILLS

Rise before first light for an early morning game drive in Amboseli National Park—prime time to watch the bush awaken as elephants, antelope and predators stir in the cool dawn.

Return to camp for a hearty breakfast before travelling south-east to the Taita Hills, where rolling green
ridges ripple above the golden plains—an evocative contrast to Amboseli’s broad lakebeds.

After lunch, head out on an afternoon game drive in the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, scanning for
lion, zebra, towering giraffe and the elusive leopard among acacia thickets and open savanna.

Included Highlight — Night Safari

As darkness falls, venture out again on a night safari to seek nocturnal wildlife under the African moon: genets, civets, bush babies and stealthy predators become active—an unforgettable perspective on the sanctuary after sunset.

Safari Tips

• Pack layers: dawn and night drives can be cool; midday is warm.
• A soft, dark outer layer reduces glare on night drives for better viewing.
• Keep camera ISO ready for low light; binoculars are invaluable all day.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Day 6 : RETURN TO THE COAST – TAITA HILLS TO MOMBASA

Enjoy a final morning game drive, savouring last sightings of wildlife in their natural habitat as the bush
stirs with first light. Return to the lodge for a relaxed breakfast.

After lunch, begin the journey back toward the coastal city of Mombasa, passing vibrant townships and expansive Lowveld landscapes that gradually give way to swaying palms and sea breezes.

Arrive at your beachfront hotel and unwind as the rhythm of the Indian Ocean sets a tranquil pace—stroll the powder-soft sands, take a dip, or simply relax to the hush of rolling waves.

Travel Notes — Road Transfer

• Expect comfort stops en route; carry water and light snacks.
• Keep valuables and travel docs in your daypack.
• Coastal humidity is higher—have a light layer ready on arrival.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Wake up to the gentle sound of the Indian Ocean waves and ease into the morning with a leisurely beachfront breakfast.

Day 9 : MOMBASA — SWAHILI CULTURE LEISURE DAY

Spend the day at leisure embracing the rich Swahili culture and layered history of Mombasa. Wander spice-scented lanes, browse lively markets, and soak up centuries of coastal heritage shaped by African, Arab, and Portuguese influences.

Whether you choose to explore Old Town and its coral-stone facades, admire colonial-era architecture, or simply relax by the Indian Ocean, the day is yours to enjoy independently.
