Big Five Safari
Although relatively short in duration, there’s no shortage of wildlife action on this value-for-money safari. Discover the unique volcanic landscape of Tsavo West, where herds of magnificent elephants share the same vibrant hues as the rich red soil. In Amboseli, with its dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, enjoy game drives across a wide-open landscape where zebras, buffalo and wildebeest graze alongside a thousand-strong herd of elephants and prowling big cats.
£2,575 - £3,475pp including international flights. Also available on a private basis, see guide pricing below.
The Big Five Safari is a popular itinerary, offering a manageable duration without compromising on the full safari experience. Watching the sun rise over Mount Kilimanjaro from your lodge in Amboseli is one of the most special experiences in Africa, and a full-day game drive in Tsavo West with a picnic lunch will allow you to venture into a real wilderness. We've also upgraded your vehicle to a 4x4.

After breakfast, depart Nairobi on a 6.5-hour drive to Tsavo West National Park.

The park is also home to an abundance of wildlife including rhino, buffalo, leopard, lion, waterbuck, lesser kudu, giraffe and the rare gerenuk. But it is perhaps best known for its herds of magnificent ‘red’ elephants, whose unusual colouring actually stems from the rich red dust and soil that they cover themselves in. You’ll arrive in time for lunch at Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp, situated on a private sanctuary at the western edge of Tsavo. The camp sits on a secluded dam on the Sante River, home to turtles, crocodile and hippo. Overnight at Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp
