An airport transfer from Amboseli to Tsavo East is best done by a private 4×4 safari vehicle BY GLOBAL Safaris. The 300 km journey takes about 5 to 6 hours global safaris , depending on your exact lodge location and wildlife viewing en route.
Transfer Options
- Private 4×4 Safari Transfer: This is the most popular, seamless, and convenient way to travel between parks. It allows for game viewing as you enter and exit the reserves.
- Fly-In (Charter Flights): Light aircraft can connect Amboseli Airstrip to airstrips near Tsavo (like Voi or those inside private conservancies). This is much faster but requires advance booking with local operators like Safarilink Aviation.
- Self-Drive: Not recommended unless you have a high-clearance 4×4. The drive takes you via the Emali-Loitokitok road, connecting to the Mombasa Highway (A109) to access the Manyani or Voi gates of Tsavo East.
Route Details & Travel Time
- Distance: ~300 – 320 km depending on the starting and ending gates (e.g., Kimana Gate to Bachuma Gate).
- Drive Time: 4.5 to 6 hours
- Route: You’ll typically leave Amboseli via the Kimana or Iremito gate, drive towards Emali on the C102, then travel east along the busy A109 (Nairobi-Mombasa Highway) towards Tsavo East.
Booking & Tips
- Advance Arrangements: You must organize your transfer through a local tour operator (e.g., GLOBAL SAFARIS ) prior to your arrival, as public transport options between the two parks do not exist.
- Park Fees: Make sure you have active permits for both parks, as you will cross boundaries.
- Timing: Start your journey early in the morning to beat the heavy transport trucks on the Mombasa Highway and maximize your afternoon game drive in Tsavo East.
