Day-by-Day Expedition Itinerary
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Your adventure begins in Nairobi as you journey south toward Amboseli, a land of vast savannah and legendary elephant herds. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and settle into your surroundings before your first evening game drive. As the sun dips behind Mount Kilimanjaro, the sky turns gold and the plains glow with magic. Overnight in Amboseli.
Amboseli – The Land of Giants
Wake to the sight of Kilimanjaro glowing in the early light. Set out on a sunrise safari as the park comes alive — lions returning from their nightly patrols, giraffes walking elegantly through the acacia trees, and elephants bathing in the swamps. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the stillness of the plains before returning to your lodge for a peaceful evening under a blanket of stars. Overnight in Amboseli.
Journey to Tsavo West
After breakfast, travel into the wild beauty of Tsavo West, one of Kenya’s most dramatic landscapes. Visit Mzima Springs, where clear waters flow through a lush oasis filled with hippos and fish. Explore the otherworldly Shetani Lava Flow, a testament to Kenya’s ancient volcanic past. An afternoon game drive may reward you with sightings of zebras, elephants, and perhaps a leopard watching from the shadows. Overnight in Tsavo West.
Taita Hills Sanctuary
Continue east toward the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, a private reserve known for its peaceful atmosphere and sweeping vistas. Arrive at your lodge, raised elegantly above a waterhole where elephants, antelopes, and buffalo often gather. Later in the afternoon, set out on a game drive followed by a sundowner with panoramic views across the hills. You may also visit a nearby Taita village to learn about their heritage, stories, and way of life. Overnight at Salt Lick Safari Lodge or similar.
From the Hills to the Coast
After an early morning drive, descend toward the coastal plains. Depending on your preference, you may travel by road or board the Madaraka Express train to Mombasa. Alternatively, guests may choose to fly from Tsavo or Nairobi to Ukunda or Diani at an additional cost. Arrive in Diani by afternoon and settle into your beachside resort, where palm trees sway and the ocean shimmers in blue. Unwind and embrace the peaceful coast rhythm. Optional experiences like dhow cruises or Mombasa history tours can be arranged. Overnight in Diani.
Diani Beach – Ocean Serenity
Spend a full day surrounded by coastal beauty. Wake to the sound of waves, enjoy a slow breakfast, and let time unfold at its own pace. Swim in warm turquoise waters, walk along the shore, or treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa experience. As the sun begins to set, watch the sky turn soft pink and reflect on the journey that has touched your heart. Overnight in Diani.
Farewell Kenya
Enjoy a relaxed morning before transferring to Ukunda Airstrip or Mombasa Railway Station for your return to Nairobi or your onward flight. Your Treasures of Kenya experience concludes, but the memories of elephants under Kilimanjaro, the red earth of Tsavo, and the tranquil waves of Diani will stay with you always.
Comfortable Lodging
Unwind inside premium properties carefully chosen for their unique settings, panoramic views, and proximity to iconic tracks.
