Overview

Volcanic Wild, Mountain Horizons & Red Plains combines three contrasting southern Kenya safari landscapes in a five-day journey from the coast. Begin in Tsavo West, where lava flows, rocky hills, and volcanic scenery create a striking introduction to the Tsavo ecosystem. Visit Mzima Springs, a natural oasis where underground water supports hippos, crocodiles, fish and diverse birdlife. Continue to Amboseli for two nights in one of Kenya’s most famous elephant destinations. Enjoy a full day of private game drives across open plains and seasonal wetlands, searching for large elephant herds, lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and antelopes. On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro may provide a striking backdrop, although mountain views cannot be guaranteed. Finish in Tsavo East, where vast red-earth plains and open savannah offer opportunities to search for Tsavo’s famous red-dusted elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and antelopes. Travel in your own private 4×4 Safari Land Cruiser with a professional English-speaking driver-guide. Choose budget, midrange or luxury accommodation for your Tsavo West, Amboseli and Tsavo East stays, with selected properties, locations, room categories and meal plans confirmed in your personalised quotation. Begin from Mombasa, Diani Beach, Watamu or Malindi. Mombasa pick-up and drop-off are included, while transfers involving Diani Beach, Watamu or Malindi can be arranged at an additional cost. This safari suits couples, families, and first-time visitors seeking contrasting landscapes, extended time in Amboseli, and a private introduction to southern Kenya, with an understanding that it involves substantial road travel.
