Classic Elephants and Plains Safari

About this safari.

A breathtaking journey through Kenya’s legendary red earth and iconic savannahs. Over 6 immersive days, this classic southern circuit takes you from the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro towering over the elephant-rich marshes of Amboseli, deep into the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Tsavo West, and across the vast, open plains of Tsavo East. Encounter the famous “red elephants” of Tsavo, explore roaring underground springs, and experience the timeless beauty of Kenya’s oldest wilderness. Enjoy memorable game drives, comfortable stays at carefully selected safari lodges and camps, and time to soak in the scenery and atmosphere of three of Kenya’s iconic wildlife areas.
