Return to the resort for dinner and overnight.
Spend a full day in Amboseli with morning and afternoon game drives and a picnic lunch beside the observation hill.

Return for breakfast, then drive across to Tsavo West National Park and check in at Ngulia Safari Lodge, perched on the edge of the Ngulia Escarpment. In the afternoon visit Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles can be seen through the underwater viewing chamber, and take a game drive through the volcanic landscape. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
After breakfast take a final game drive through Tsavo West, passing the Shetani lava flows and looking for elephant, giraffe and the park's prolific birdlife.
