Lake Nakuru - Amboseli National Park

You will depart early in the morning after breakfast towards Amboseli National Park with lunch en route. Your guide will take you on an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is synonymous with two particular things—majestic herds of elephants and glorious views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, Amboseli National Park is one of the best places in Africa for getting up close to free-ranging elephants. The population is so robust here that sightings are guaranteed. Amboseli is also a photographer’s paradise. Those wonderful photos you’ve seen of elephants seemingly posing in front of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro were taken here. Kilimanjaro, the largest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world towers over the park like a stately and photogenic sentinel. When the clouds burn off at dusk or dawn, you’ll be treated to visions of its snowy peak. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.
