250 km – 4 hr. drive
4:30 am – We will pick you from your hotel or place of your choosing and head out on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway.
The sun will rise over us, flooding the passing fields with its early morning color. Look for local homesteads and Maasai herders wrapped in their colorful shuka cloth.
We’ll follow the ever-broadening image of Mt. Kilimanjaro as it leads us to Amboseli Park. On this first drive, we’ll be looking for and will likely see great trains of elephants parading before the immense mountain’s lovely backdrop.
Breakfast will follow at the Ol Tukai Lodge and then we’ll set out for the park’s marshes, plains, and hills in search of lion, zebra, buffalo, cheetah, gazelle, and elephants.
Then it’s up to the park’s Observation Hill for a walking break to view the expanse of the areas below and the vistas beyond.
We’ll savor a relaxing lunch at the Amboseli Serena Lodge with views of Kilimanjaro and the natural ambiance of the park.
Our final game drive follows as we look for more wildlife and perhaps visit a favorite spot.
It’s time to head back to Nairobi. We should arrive in town between 6:30 – 7:30 pm.
