Amboseli are the
plains below Mt. Kilimanjaro. The waters from melted snow drain down
the mountain under lava flows and surface in Amboseli, creating a
green belt of swampland amidst dusty plains. Here, hippo, elephant
and birdlife can be seen against the backdrop of the magnificent
snow-capped mountain.

AASL - 004: 3 Days Amboseli
National Park, Tsavo West National Park, Nairobi
Day 1: Amboseli National Park
We depart Nairobi in the morning and drive south through
Maasai country to the plains below Mt. Kilimanjaro where
Amboseli is situated. After a stopover lunch at the lodge we
proceed into the scenic Amboseli National Park for a game
drive returning to Amboseli Serena the lodge in the evening
for a sun downer.
Despite its small size (392 sq km), this fragile ecosystem
supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50 of the larger
species) and birds (over 400 species). The waters from Mt.
Kilimanjaro drain down the mountain under lava flows and
surface in Amboseli, creating a green belt of swampland
amidst dusty plains. Amboseli lacks the profusion of animal
species found in the Mara, but the landscape provides
limited cover so we have better chances of seeing some of
the larger predators. Elephant, buffaloes, lions, gazelles,
cheetahs, wildebeest, hyenas, jackals, warthogs, Masai
Giraffes, zebra, baboon, and waterbuck are all present in
the park.
Day 2: Tsavo West National Park
We drive early to Tsavo West National Park and a stop-over
is made at Mzima Springs, the source of most of Mombasa’s
fresh water; you can walk down to an underwater observation
chamber where it is literally possible to watch hippo or
crocodile swim along the floor of this crystal clear spring.
Tsavo is particularly famous for its large herds of
elephants. Back at the lodge we enjoy a sun downer, dinner
and a good night’s sleep.
Day 3: Tsavo/Nairobi
An early morning game drive permits further exploration of
this great park followed by breakfast. We then depart for
Nairobi arriving in the afternoon
