The journey
What these days are for
A southern circuit for guests who want more than a weekend and less than a cross-country marathon. Volcanic Tsavo West, then the classic Amboseli light.
Prices are per person sharing, in low-to-shoulder lodge categories, before international flights. Park fees move; we reconfirm them on the invoice, not in a footnote after you have paid.
