Ready for the ultimate wild escape? Get ready to tick things off your bucket list with this small group safari in search of Kenya’s iconic Big Five.

Touch down in Nairobi, where your safari story starts. After a good night’s rest, you’ll hit the open road to Tsavo West National Park – a cinematic landscape of red dust, rocky outcrops, and ancient lava flows. This is the land of the famous “red elephants,” who love to coat themselves in the iron-rich soil. But they’re not alone. Keep your eyes peeled for lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, kudu, rhino, and the quirky long-necked gerenuk.

You’ll stay at Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp, perched beside a peaceful dam where hippos, crocs, and turtles laze in the water. Between morning and afternoon game drives, you’ll visit Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear pools shimmer in the sunlight and an underwater viewing chamber lets you spy on hippos gliding below the surface. When you’re not out spotting wildlife, kick back with a sundowner and gaze out at Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.

Next stop: Amboseli National Park, a wildlife haven framed by Africa’s tallest peak. Your base here is Ol Tukai Lodge, a classic safari lodge right in the heart of elephant country – and with over 1,000 elephants roaming the plains, you’re bound to see a few up close. Watch the sunrise turn Kilimanjaro’s snowy summit pink as zebras, wildebeest and buffalo graze nearby, and maybe spot a pride of lions on the move. With early morning, mid-morning and afternoon game drives, you’ll have endless chances to see Amboseli’s wild side, including its lush swamplands where elephants wallow and over 400 species of bird take flight.
