Overview

Amboseli is the mountain view and the big herds. Tsavo is the space and the red dust. Together they make a south-Kenya safari that never leaves the country. Two nights is a look. This plan gives you two mornings in Amboseli and two in Tsavo.

    Amboseli to Tsavo West

    A last Amboseli morning, then east into Tsavo West. Shetani lava or Mzima Springs fills the afternoon.
