If you're in luck, the snow capped peak of Mt Kilimanjaro will be visible, creating a spectacular backdrop to the peacefully grazing animals.

DAY 6 - Take a morning drive to Tsavo West parl, stopping to see the Shaitani lava flow. Take an afternoon game drive in the park. Open plains stretch in all directions with Mount Kilimanjaro, the Chyulu Hills, the Taita Hills and Ngulia Mountains on different horizons. The views from Roaring rocks and Poacher's lookout are truly spectacular. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe. lion. leopard, cheetah, rhino and plains game are present so wildlife viewing is varied but requires some patience. A visit to Mzima Springs where crystal clear water bubbles up from underground may reveal hippo and crocodile, seen from an underwater viewing hide. Birdlife is extraordinarily colourful and diverse with the Ngulia mountains hosting many migratory species at certain times of the year. Stay overnight in a lodge.

DAY 7 – Why not extend your holiday with a stay by the beach, either in Kenya or Zanzibar?

This is a sample itinerary which can be personalised for your requirements – we will happily make recommendations, based on your preferences and our personal experiences. We recommend flying between reserves in Kenya both to save time as distances are huge and because the roads can be bumpy.
