Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel or Airport. Hop into the 4 x 4 for the beginning of your journey along the Nairobi-Mombasa Road.

We’ll head out for afternoon game drives on the savannah searching for large and small game – the park features the “Big Five”, including a large elephant population. Unique here is a special rhino sanctuary. We’ll travel there to track these immense but shy creatures in the late afternoon, as the park cools down and the nocturnal rhinos begin to emerge.

You'll enjoy the early morning game drive as more animals are active in the morning especially the predators as they hunt! We'll return to the lodge for breakfast followed by check-out and drive to Amboseli National Park. It’s a short 2-hour drive and you can measure time and your distance from the park by the appearance of mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance. The great summit stands at the park’s southern vista and is a welcoming landmark seen throughout the park!

We’ll take an easy game drive in this park known for its immense herds of elephants. This is possibly the best spot in Africa to view these noble giants, with sightings guaranteed! The park is also known for its easy animal spotting, so we’ll hopefully have a busy afternoon.

Toward evening the clouds surrounding Kilimanjaro’s peak may part revealing its snowy summit. This is a perfect moment for photographs and a time to appreciate all the wonder that surrounds us.
