Amboseli National Park

If you are lucky to occupy a mountain-facing tent, and it is a cloudless morning, you will wake up to exquisite views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The best way to kick off your day is an early morning breakfast, followed by a full-day game drive at Amboseli National Park. Mornings and evenings are ideal for game viewing since the park's mammals are most active around then.
You'll likely have a picnic lunch at the Amboseli Observation Hill, the only high ground around, which offers a vantage point for game-viewing and lunch atop the set picnic tables. The Amboseli Observation Hill is the only designated area where you can disembark your vehicle while on a game drive.
