Detailed Itinerary: 5 Days Wildlife Safari Tour from Mombasa (2026–2028)

Day 1: Mombasa – Tsavo East National Park

Your journey begins with an early pick-up from your Mombasa hotel or Diani Beach resort as you set out for Tsavo East National Park, Kenya’s oldest and largest park. Enjoy a scenic drive through rolling plains and red-earth landscapes, with an en-route stop at the historic Bachuma Gate. Once inside, embark on your first thrilling game drive to spot large elephant herds, often known for their distinctive red-dusted coats, as well as lions, zebras, giraffes, and gazelles. Visit the Aruba Dam, a watering hole frequented by hippos and crocodiles. A sumptuous lunch awaits you at your lodge before heading out for another game drive in the afternoon, when predators are most active. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight, listening to the distant roars of lions echoing across the plains.

Day 2: Tsavo East – Amboseli National Park

After breakfast, depart Tsavo East and journey westward toward the world-famous Amboseli National Park, driving past scenic villages and vast savannah landscapes. Amboseli is best known for its breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, and its massive elephant herds roaming freely across the open plains. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge, followed by an afternoon game drive where you’ll spot wildebeest, zebras, lions, cheetahs, and giraffes against the mountain backdrop — a photographer’s paradise. As you traverse Amboseli’s swamps and acacia woodlands, look out for the many bird species that make this park a birder’s haven. Return to your lodge in the evening for a warm dinner under the starry African sky.

Day 3: Amboseli – Tsavo West National Park

Rise early for a sunrise game drive in Amboseli, capturing the majestic sight of elephants silhouetted against Mount Kilimanjaro’s snowcapped peak. After breakfast, exit the park and drive to Tsavo West National Park, a more rugged and scenic section of the Tsavo ecosystem. Tsavo West is renowned for its volcanic landscapes, lava flows, and the stunning Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water gushes from underground sources — home to hippos, crocodiles, and fish. Enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge, where lunch will be served. In the afternoon, explore the Shetani Lava Flow and keep an eye out for leopards, buffaloes, and ostriches. As dusk falls, enjoy the tranquility of the wild from your lodge veranda, with the distant calls of hyenas serenading the night.

After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely drive to Taita Hills Wildlife Conservancy, a private sanctuary bordering Tsavo West. The landscape here transitions into lush hills and open savannahs teeming with wildlife such as elephants, elands, and antelopes. Arrive in time for lunch at Salt Lick Safari Lodge, an iconic property built on stilts overlooking a busy watering hole where animals gather throughout the day. Later in the afternoon, embark on a guided game drive within the conservancy. This is your chance to enjoy intimate wildlife encounters away from the crowds while learning about the conservancy’s conservation efforts. Return in the evening for a unique dinner experience, possibly with wildlife visible from the lodge’s viewing deck.

Along the way, enjoy the scenic countryside and perhaps stop for souvenirs at local craft markets. The safari concludes upon arrival at your coastal hotel or drop-off point, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s Big Five, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality.
