Nairobi to Amboseli National Park - Approx 250km (5-hour drive)
Depart for Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. The drive is via 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 wild herds of elephants up close and see why it's little wonder that the park is the best place in Africa to spot such herds. It is also home to many other species such as 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. If the weather permits, Amboseli National Park offers a beautiful vista of the scenic snow-capped Mount 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.

Amboseli National Park
On this day, 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 Observation Hill to view the sprawling, breathtaking view of Amboseli.
You may opt to have a full-day game drive or enjoy the game drives in separate successions so that you may also 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).

Have an early breakfast and then check out and proceed to Naivasha, arriving for lunch. Time permitting, you will have a brief stop at the scenic Great Rift Valley viewpoint. The Rift Valley stretches from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in Southeast Africa. It’s a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 6,800 kilometers (4,300 miles) in total length, and much of it is found in Kenya, where it has literally cut the country in two.
Lake Naivasha's shores host abundant birdlife including pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles. There are more animals per acre than in any other Kenyan park, hence many film companies have been to the island to film the herds of wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, and gazelle.
In the afternoon, go on an optional visit by boat to the hidden gem, Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, which is surrounded by water (it is actually a peninsula) at a cost of $60 per person.
