10 Days Kenya Safari Around Mombasa - Beach Tour

The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Conservancy are two smaller parks between the giants Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park. They offer unique game drives at night and, due to their proximity, they can be easily combined. During a safari here expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and antilopes, among other species, as well as over 300 bird species. In the nearby Taita Hills you can also spot Kenya’s rarest (and most threatened) birds: the Taita Apalis, the Taita White-eye and Taita Thrush.

Tsavo West National Park is full of stars you want to get in front of your lens. From the Big Five to the big stars of the flora and fauna – you’ll meet them all when discovering the national park itself and the unique Mzima Springs.

Activities:

Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo West National Park is a park that shows a diverse and remarkable nature with, for example, the Mzima Springs, the Shetani Lava Flows and the Chaimu crater. With its 9,065 square kilometres, this is one of Kenya's largest national parks, and four of the Big Five can be seen roaming freely here. Besides, you fairly easily spot regulars like giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gerenuks and many different species of birds, all between the green hills, acacia forests, savannah, natural springs and huge lava rocks from nearby volcanos.

Visit the Mzima Springs
Mzima Springs in Tsavo West National Park is a series of four natural springs of crystal clear water gushing out from underneath the dry lava rock. This two-kilometre-long stream is a heavenly pool for hippos and crocs, who come here to cool down. You need to be lucky, but if they are there, you can watch them from above or through a window in an underwater tunnel below the spring. The super clear water allows you to see every tumble and turn - a joy to watch!

Today you can not only marvel at Amboseli’s highlights from up close (we only say supertuskers, lions, and lava rocks), but also from above: Observation Hill spoils you with a 360-degree view which is truly unique in this world.

Activities:

Amboseli National Park
Discover the mesmerizing Amboseli National Park, a true wildlife haven at the foot of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. The national park on the border with Tanzania offers sweeping savannahs, impressive lava rocks and shimmering swamps, creating an ideal habitat for large herds of elephants, graceful lions, a staggering variety of bird species and many more animals. Shoot them all (with your camera, of course!) with the mighty Kili in the background – an amazing sight!

Short walk and view from Observation Hill
Observation Hill is a hill within the boundaries of Amboseli National Park which originated from a volcanic eruption and later cooled on the earth. In just five minutes, you walk up and will be rewarded with a 365-degree view over the park. From the top, you can see Enkongu Narok marshes with its many elephants and hippos on the east side. In the south, you have a good view of Mount Kilimanjaro and in the west, the Kioko Lake with its playing hippos and Lake Amboseli can be found. Once observed, you know exactly where to go next!

Silver - Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge

Kenya’s oldest park opens its gates for your safari! Encounter the crème de la crème of African wildlife and take in the stunning view from Mudanda Rock.

Activities:

Tsavo East National Park
With over 13,000 square kilometres, Tsavo East National Park is huge, impressive, and, since it was founded in 1948, old. Cruise the outstretched savannah of the Yatta Plateau with its large groups of red elephants, and observe some of the last remaining supertuskers and maneless lions. Listen to the famous story of the man-eating lions, while keeping your eyes peeled for an amazing amount of other animals; four of the Big Five (minus rhinos) together with dik-diks, zebras, giraffes, yellow baboons, cheetahs, African wild dogs, elands, gazelles, gerenuks, hyenas, jackals, and over 500 species of birds!


Hike up Mudanda Rock
This is your chance to get out of the car and take a hike – to the top of Mudanda Rock that is! This huge rock of 1.6 kilometres long dates back to the Stone Age, and is said to be a runway for the gods. The story goes that in the past, local tribes used it to dry their elephant meat (!). From its summit, you have a magnificent view of the Yatta Plateau (the most prolonged cooled lava flow in the world), the open savannah grasslands, the wildlife drinking from the water catchment below and the yellow baboons and vervet monkeys enjoying the sun on the rock itself.
