You will be picked up by your private tour guide from Nairobi and leave for Amboseli National Park. Amboseli is a beautiful park situated on the border with Tanzania, right at the foot of the tallest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. On a clear day, you will get stunning views of its snowy peaks.

Amboseli is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. The elephant population is so large here that sightings are pretty much guaranteed! Have you seen the classic Kenya photos of elephants posing in front of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro? These shots were taken right here in Amboseli, and you will have a chance to take these amazing photos too!

The Amboseli landscape consists of rolling plains, swampy marshes, and rocky thorn bushes dotted with acacia trees. The topology of the landscape ensures excellent viewing of the large diversity of wildlife in their natural habitat.

You will arrive at Amboseli National Park at lunchtime and after your meal leave on the afternoon game drive.

Rise early and get ready for a full day of unlimited game viewing and sightseeing at Amboseli! Start by watching the sunrise cast its first rays across the park and see the wild animals as they get ready for their day on the savannah. Drive back to the lodge for a sumptuous breakfast followed by a morning game drive through the park.

One of the advantages of Amboseli is that the terrain is open, which makes game spotting easier. The park’s tranquil beauty allows fabulous wildlife viewing and photography. The wild animals here are very approachable and not frightened by the vehicles. It is a great opportunity to spot big families of Elephants, Lions, Impalas, Giraffes, and Gazelles.

During the day you will also have the option to visit the Masai Cultural Village to experience firsthand their unique way of life.

You could have your lunch at the hotel or have it packed, allowing you to spend more time in the park. The car is at your disposal from sunrise to sunset. It is up to you how much time you want to spend in the park!

Optional activities in Amboseli:

• Balloon Safari over the Amboseli plains followed by a champagne breakfast
• A visit to a traditional Maasai homestead, where you’ll meet the Maasai, experience their unique way of life, customs, and traditions.

On the final day of your trip, you will have an early morning pre-breakfast safari and hopefully, find the animal species you didn’t see the days prior. You will go look at a variety of Amboseli’s birdlife: Pelicans, Kingfishers, Egrets, and Herons which are found near the park’s marshes and lakes.

Breakfast will be served at the lodge with views of the great Kilimanjaro. Then you will check out and say farewell to this majestic destination as you drive back to Nairobi.
