An excellent opportunity to combine a visit to Kenya's largest park, Tsavo East and West with Amboseli, described by Hemingway as the very essence of Africa. Right on the Tanzanian border, Amboseli enjoys a spectacular backdrop - snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain.
To the west of the park, a seasonal lake attracts waterfowl, although most of the year it is merely a dry bed of soda where desert mirages dance across the surface. Most of the game is drawn to the swamps and permanent water in the center and south of the park. Sightings include: elephants, buffalo, lions, wildebeest, giraffes, zebra and baboons and the endangered black rhino.DAY 1: Leave your coastal hotel and drive to Tsavo West National Park. Lunch at Ngulia Lodge. Afternoon game drive which usually includes a visit to the rhino sanctuary.
