Situated in the southern region of Kenya, Amboseli National Park  “Home of the African Elephant” stands as a renowned wildlife conservation area, enticing visitors with its stunning rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes. It is a home to iconic wildlife, hosting four members of the Big Five, from lions to the graceful zebras and countless number of bird species in its swamps and wetlands.

Amboseli is celebrated for its exceptional opportunities for close encounters with free-roaming members of the Big Five. The park is a home to large numbers of African elephants, creating the perfect opportunity for an up close view of up to fifty herds of elephants in one safari, making it a prime destination for both photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Its unique charm lies in its authentic and rich Maasai culture ability to offer unforgettable safari experience in an inspiring natural beauty of Mother Nature and, making it a must – visit destination for anyone looking to experience the magic of the Kenyan wilderness.

The spectacular Mzima Springs is an impressive sight of a million gallons of crystal clear waters gushing out of the under parched lava rocks forming the most welcoming and lovely scenes from Africa’s rolling jungle. Painted on a sprawling canvas of endless skies, emerald hills, liquid lava flows, palm fringed rivers, teeming wildlife and sparkling oasis set against the impressive backdrop of mile upon mile of cloud shadowed African savannah, Tsavo West National Park “Land of Lava, Springs, Man-Eaters & Magical Sunsets” is the second largest protected area in Kenya and is famous for the man eater lions who to date carry a bizarre history long after they terrorized, maimed and killed construction workers of the Kenya-Uganda Railway in 1898. The railway construction was abruptly halted by the most voracious and insatiable man-eating lions.

The first World War Site-East African Campaign, and perhaps the most bizarre campaign of the world war was fought in the “Bundu” (Bush) – the barely explored wilderness of thorny shrub and dense forest of Tsavo West. This last ‘gentleman war’ was waged under the code of honor-sometimes; or under guerilla tactics adopted from African tribal fighters.

Lake Jipe, lies astride Kenya and Tanzania boarder and is teeming with aquatic life, Bird watching is also major activity around the lake.
