THE GREEN FRONTIER | Kenya in the Low Season

Overnight: Soroi Amboseli Lodge

Day 4: Amboseli National Park – Tsavo West National Park
After a final breakfast, travel west into Tsavo West, where open plains give way to rugged volcanic terrain and the Shetani Lava Flow creates a striking contrast against the fresh green vegetation. Arrive at Finch Hattons in time for lunch on the elevated deck overlooking the hippo pools, followed by an afternoon game drive through volcanic valleys.
Overnight: Finch Hattons Luxury Tented Camp

Day 5: Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast, set out with a ranger for Mzima Springs, following shaded trails through the volcanic landscape to crystal-clear waters rising from underground streams. An underwater viewing chamber offers a glimpse of hippos and crocodiles. Enjoy a gourmet bush lunch, then unwind with a spa treatment or a dip in the pool before a starlit dinner at camp.

Day 6: Tsavo West National Park – Watamu

Overnight: Medina Palms, Watamu

Day 7: Watamu
After breakfast, explore the Gedi Ruins, a 13th-century Swahili settlement tucked within a lush coastal forest. Then head out on a traditional dhow to the Sardegna Due sandbar, where white sand emerges from turquoise waters as the tide recedes. Enjoy lunch at The Cave in Watamu before making your way to Mida Creek and the Crab Shack at Dabaso, where sundowners accompany the sunset over the creek.
Overnight: Medina Palms, Watamu

Day 8: Watamu
After breakfast, cruise into Watamu Marine National Park aboard a private glass-bottom boat, where the clear waters offer glimpses of colourful reef fish and sea turtles.
