| 5
Days. DAY
1 & 2.
We shall leave Nairobi for Amboseli National park at 0900 hrs.This lies
at the foot of the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro,Africa's
highest mountain.The snow capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro rising above
a saucer of clouds dominates every aspect of the Amboseli.
The snows of the Mt. Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline form a majestic
backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular display of wildlife-lion,elephant,leopard,rhino,cheetah,buffalo
and hosts of plain's game creating Kenya's most sought after photographer's
paradise.
The park is also the home of Maasai, those tall proud nomads who have
learned to live in complete harmony with the wildlife that surrounds them.
We shall spend the night at the place of accommodation where all meals
will be served.The second day will be spent game viewing around the Amboseli.
DAY 3 &
4.
Leave Amboseli for Tsavo National Park.The combined area of Tsavo East
and West makes it one of the World's largest game sanctuaries,even larger
than the Wales in Great Britain.
We shall arrive in Tsavo West in time for an evening game drive.Chief
amongst the marvels of this park is the Mzima Springs,which forms a haven
for rich wildlife pageant with the elephant soaking half immersed in the
waters,the hippos apparently weightless,tiptoeing across the bottom,crocodiles
basking at the bank or swirling through the water,gazelles,zebra and giraffe
wandering around the banks through the thick acacias and raffia palms
together with hundreds of chattering monkeys and birds.
Apart from the elephant population that also graces the park,there are
many lions,some undoubtedly the descendants of the famous man eaters of
Tsavo.
We shall spend the night in Kilaguni,the first Lodge to be built inside
any National Park in 1962.
The following morning will be spent game viewing
in Tsavo West before we leave for Tsavo East whose main attraction is
the Yatta Plateau ,one of the World's longest lava flows.An additional
attraction is the Athi River flanked by stately palms,which later forms
the Lugard Falls,a long stretch of rippling white water cataracts and
a favorite spot for sunbathing crocodiles.
DAY 5.
We shall spend the early part of the day experiencing some more of the
Tsavo marvels and then leave for Nairobi to our individual places of accommodation.
