Day 7

Amboseli game drive

Amboseli game drive

We like to rise early while on safari to set an adventurous tone for the day. We’ll watch the light breaking over the park and catch the wildlife as it appears on the savannah. Our next assignment is breakfast! We then go on another morning game drive through the park.

One of the advantages of Amboseli is that it is open terrain with thin foliage. This makes the game spotting easier. We’ll be looking for lion and leopard and the park’s almost ever-present great parade of elephants. Seeing the magnificent elephants patrolling in line before the majesty of Kilimanjaro is a special treat in this reserve.

We have lunch at your accommodation and perhaps some time for relaxing. The day's pace is for you to decide. Should you want to fill your day with unlimited game drives, your guide will make that happen.
