Itinerary
Your adventure of a lifetime starts at O.R. Tambo International Airport, where you will meet your fellow travellers at the check-in counters before embarking on your flight to Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
Upon arrival, you will collect your bags and meet the tour’s expert local guides.
You will be transferred to the Fourpoints by Sheraton Hotel; you’re free to unwind, explore a little, or simply take in the new surroundings at your own pace.
After an early breakfast, we head to the station and board the train to Emali, an exciting journey that gives us a glimpse of rural Kenya in motion. On arrival, our driver-guides greet us, and we set off on a thrilling road transfer into the heart of Amboseli. At Ol Tukai Lodge, we check in and enjoy lunch before venturing out on our first game drive, ready to track wildlife against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Amboseli’s vast grasslands and acacia woodlands offer magnificent views of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro from anywhere in the park. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust”. The park is home to Africa’s largest elephants, often seen around its many swamps. Along the way, you may glimpse the colourful homes of the Maasai tribe, who have lived here for centuries. The park also shelters abundant wildlife, including buffalo, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras and wildebeests, and is a paradise for birdwatchers.
We return to Ol Tukai Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
Highlights:
Spend two full days immersed in the wild beauty of Amboseli National Park, with morning and afternoon game drives that bring you close to nature’s rhythms. Join us to wander through vast plains with a chance to meet elephants against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro and share moments of quiet wonder.
Highlights:
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the lodge before checking out. Drive through Kenya’s wild heart to Tsavo West National Park, arriving at Kilaguni Serena Lodge in time to check in and share a warm lunch.
In the afternoon, set out on a game drive to explore the park’s rugged beauty: rolling hills, volcanic cones, and dramatic black lava flows. Depending on wildlife activity, we may visit Mzima Springs today; a serene oasis where crystal-clear waters, filtered through the Chyulu Hills, mirror the surrounding fig and acacia trees. Hippos and crocodiles often gather here in the cool shallows. If time and conditions allow, we’ll also explore the Shetani Lava Flow, an ancient, rugged landscape dotted with hidden lava caves. (Alternatively, these visits may shift to Day 6 depending on sightings.)
Keep watch for possible sightings of elephants, giraffes, lions, or even a fleeting leopard while sunbirds and hornbills dance overhead. Return for a calm dinner and overnight stay beneath the stars.
Highlights:
We dedicate this day to exploring the raw essence of Tsavo West National Park. Embark on morning and afternoon game drives to roam through sculpted hills, volcanic cones and stark lava flows. Linger at Mzima Springs, where clear waters mirror ancient fig and acacia trees, sheltering hippos and crocodiles. Traverse the Shetani Lava Flow, crossing its vast, time-worn expanse and peering into shadowed lava caves. Stay alert for potential sightings of elephants, giraffes, lions, or a shy leopard as sunbirds and hornbills glide overhead. Return to Kilaguni Serena Lodge for a quiet dinner and a night beneath the stars.
Highlights:
Savour a final breakfast at the lodge, gathering memories before checking out. Meander through Tsavo’s wild trails to Mtito Andei station, where you’ll board the train to Nairobi.
Let Kenya’s rolling plains and distant hills unfold outside your window, perhaps enjoying a light meal on board as you reflect on your journey. At the station, a warm farewell greets you, followed by a gentle transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, carrying the spirit of this adventure in your heart.
Highlight:
Begin your coastal adventure with a leisurely breakfast at the lodge before checking out. Travel through Tsavo’s open plains to Mtito Andei station, where you’ll catch the train to Mombasa. Let Kenya’s landscapes unfold outside your window, with light meals available on board to tide you over. Upon arrival, a warm greeting awaits, followed by a transfer through Mombasa’s vibrant port city, alive with coastal heritage, to Serena Beach Hotel on the North Coast.
Check into your Seaview Room, where the Indian Ocean’s turquoise waves and soft white sands beckon. Stroll along palm-fringed shores or picture the coral reefs teeming with life just beyond. Enjoy a relaxed dinner, embracing the promise of this seaside extension.
Highlights:
Ease into two full days at Serena Beach Hotel on Mombasa’s North Coast, resting in your Seaview Room. Wander along warm sands where palms lean gently and the Indian Ocean’s clear waves lap softly, inviting quiet reflection. Meander to Kilifi Creek, its calm waters catching the light, or linger on the shores of Nyali or Shanzu, feeling the coastal breeze. Imagine coral reefs alive with darting fish and gliding turtles just beyond the horizon. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts and dinners at the hotel, with lunches left to your own exploration.
Highlights:
Savour a final breakfast at the lodge, soaking in the coastal calm before checking out. Journey to Mombasa Terminus, where you’ll board the train to Nairobi, arriving at Nairobi Terminus. Watch Kenya’s landscapes shift outside your window, with light meals available on board to enjoy at your leisure. Upon arrival, a warm farewell awaits, followed by a smooth transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, carrying the glow of your coastal escape.

This carefully curated journey through Kenya brings together the best of safari and seaside (optional excursion) in one seamless experience. From the golden plains of Amboseli, where elephants roam beneath the watchful eye of Mount Kilimanjaro, to the volcanic drama of Tsavo’s lava-sculpted landscapes, every day invites you into a deeper connection with the natural world. Travel is unhurried yet enriching, designed for comfort, curiosity and a sense of wonder.
Board scenic train routes that reveal Kenya’s diverse heartlands. Stay in well-appointed lodges that blend modern amenities with a front-row seat to wildlife. Be guided by local experts who bring meaning to every encounter, whether you’re tracking lions on a game drive or admiring hippos wallowing in Mzima Springs. And for those who wish to extend the adventure, a beachside escape in Mombasa offers the perfect contrast: soft sands, turquoise waters, and a final breath of serenity before heading home.

We are here to help
The tour leader collects a set amount from each member of a tour. This kitty is then used to tip the local tour guide and city guides, bus drivers, any other assistants, and restaurant staff. We believe in tipping for good service as a token of appreciation, especially as many workers in tourism rely on tips to supplement their income.
Although we cannot apply on your behalf, we are more than willing to give guidance and assistance with completing forms. We do this for many clients on a near-daily basis. It does, however, remain the responsibility of the client to ensure that they get the correct visa on time.
Remember that we limit the number of guests on our tours. This means more time at stops and sites. We definitely do not do groups of 30 pax, where guests are rushed from one site to the other. There is enough time to explore on your own.
We always suggest USD/Euro 50 to USD/Euro 100 per person per day. As we mostly include two meals per day on our tours, this will be enough for lunch/dinner, some snacks, and memento shopping. Should you want to buy larger items, we suggest taking along your credit card. Remember to advise the bank that you will be travelling.
Once you have completed the form, you will receive an email with the itinerary which includes pricing, inclusions and flight options.
