Chyulu Hills & Amboseli Safari Circuit
A Journey Between Red Earth and Snow-Capped Peaks
Few landscapes in Africa are as dramatic as the Chyulu Hills and Amboseli ecosystem, where rolling volcanic hills meet sweeping savannahs under the towering gaze of Mount Kilimanjaro. This region is not just about wildlife sightings—it’s about silence, space, and safaris that weave together luxury, culture, and conservation.
A Chyulu–Amboseli circuit allows you to combine some of Kenya’s most celebrated lodges, each with its own character, while moving seamlessly through a landscape of elephants, lions, giraffes, and Maasai culture.
Highlights of the Circuit
- Mount Kilimanjaro views from Amboseli and the Chyulu Hills
- Elephant herds in Amboseli’s wetlands
- Exclusive walking safaris with Maasai guides in the Chyulu Hills
- Award-winning eco-lodges supporting conservation and communities
- Flexible combinations with Tsavo West, Laikipia, or the Masai Mara
