Overview
This exciting two-day safari whisks you away from Nairobi on a scenic drive to Amboseli National Park. Witness the sunrise over savannas dotted with Maasai herders, and keep an eye out for the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch and a chance to settle into your lodge or tented camp. Afternoon and pre-dawn game drives offer prime opportunities to spot elephants, lions, zebras, and a variety of other wildlife against the stunning backdrop of Kilimanjaro. You can even opt for an optional cultural encounter with the local Maasai people. The adventure concludes with a final game drive and a return to Nairobi in the late afternoon.
Itinerary
4-Hour Drive
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
7:30 am. Your driver/guide will pick you up for the early morning drive to the park. Along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway view the changing light as the sun rises above the passing fields. You may see Maasai herders wrapped in their colorful shukas.
Look for the unmistakable image of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance, guiding you to Amboseli Park. Arriving in time for lunch, you can freshen up at your Safari lodge or tented camp.
Then we’ll venture out and see the park’s abundant families of elephants marching before the scenic backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We’ll also be tracking for lion, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, ostrich, and many other park inhabitants.
You’ll spend the night at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Let’s get up early for a pre-breakfast game drive. If it’s clear, we might even see the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro. This is a wonderful time to enjoy the morning colors over the park as the first wildlife peaks out from the shelter of the night.
Then we’ll dig into breakfast, taking in Amboseli’s wild ambiance before heading out for a mid-morning game drive.
Besides spotting the big game, we’ll also be looking for smaller park inhabitants such as hyena, fox, jackal, monkey, and baboon.
For a different kind of Amboseli experience, you can participate in an optional cultural meet with the local Maasai people at their village. Your guide can easily arrange this.
Lunch is next and then a final game drive as we exit the park.
We should have you back in Nairobi in the late afternoon, bringing you to the drop-off destination of your choice.
