Nairobi to Amboseli - Approximately 250km (5 hours drive)
Depart for the Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. The morning drive is via a typical African savannah country dotted with local homesteads and colorful Maasai herdsmen grazing their cattle. Arrive in time for lunch and later venture into the park for the scheduled afternoon game-viewing drive.
You will spot the many herds of elephants up close in the park - a little wonder why the park is the best place in Africa to spot such herds. The park is also home to many other species such as the Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, Maasai giraffe, zebra and blue wildebeest among other African animals. The birdlife is also abundant with both large and small species. Weather permitting, Amboseli National Park offers a beautiful vista of the scenic snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro which makes it a perfect site for photography. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.

Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
You have another day to enjoy a full-day game-viewing extravaganza in Amboseli. With its reputation for active elephant sightings, it’s easy to spot them roaming the plains in the morning and evening. During much of the day, you can observe them splashing and foraging in Ol Okenya Swamp. We will also stop at the Observation Hill to view the sprawling, breathtaking view of Amboseli.
You may opt to have the full-day game drive, otherwise you can also choose to do the game drives in separate successions so that you may have a chance to enjoy the lodge facilities. The driver-guide will be readily available to discuss your daily activities as per your preferences, including an optional visit to a Maasai village (at an extra cost). Every safari is different according to your wishes, likes and expectations. Just let us know how you would like to customize your special journey.
