TSAVO WEST – AMBOSELI SAFARI 3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS

DAY 1

From here the discovery of the real Africa will begin, traveling for about 70km on a dirt road full of palm trees and for this reason nicknamed the road of the “Thousand Palms” (1.5 hours). After this panoramic route you will reach a very important highway for the economy of the country as it connects the coast with the northernmost regions and divides the Tsavo park into East and West.

After about 200 km (about 2 hours of highway) you will arrive at the entrance of the Tsavo West National Park (Tsavo River Gate), the place where the famous film “The Ghost and the Darkness” was filmed. After completing the formalities for entry into the park, the first photographic safari will begin towards the tented camp. Upon arrival, accommodation, lunch and time to rest.
