End of safari.
Amboseli and Tsavo are located in southern Kenya, southeast of Nairobi, near the Tanzanian border. Amboseli National Park sits directly northwest of Mount Kilimanjaro, approximately 240 km (150 miles) from Nairobi, while Tsavo National Park is divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, lying further southeast between Nairobi and Mombasa, roughly 330 km (205 miles) from Nairobi. Both parks are easily accessible via road (4–6 hours from Nairobi) or by short domestic flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to airstrips like Amboseli, Mtito Andei, or Voi. Amboseli is famous for elephant herds with Kilimanjaro views, while Tsavo is known for its vast wilderness, red elephants, and scenic Mzima Springs, making them a perfect combined safari circuit.
Travelers consistently rate Amboseli and Tsavo safaris highly, praising Amboseli for its "unbelievable" elephant herds and iconic Mount Kilimanjaro backdrops, calling it a photographer's paradise. Tsavo receives acclaim for its vast, uncrowded wilderness, dramatic lava landscapes, and unique "red elephants" dusted with the region's distinctive soil. Reviewers often recommend combining both parks for variety, though some note that Tsavo's wildlife can be more scattered due to its larger size, requiring more patience. Many highlight that upgrading from budget to mid-range lodges significantly improves comfort, especially for game drives with better vehicle quality and knowledgeable guides.

25 May, 2026This trip was an absolute dream! Rasset Adventures exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we landed, everything was seamless - comfortable vehicles, incredible guides, and the most breathtaking wildlife sightings I've ever experienced. Amboseli's elephants against Kilimanjaro's backdrop are something I'll never forget, and Tsavo's vast landscapes felt truly magical. If you're considering a safari, I can't recommend them enough!
