Know before you go

Departure from Nairobi is early in the morning to allow maximum time in the park.
Amboseli's visibility of Mount Kilimanjaro varies - clear views are most common at sunrise.
Roads inside the park can be dusty or rough, especially during dry seasons.
Wildlife sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed, though Amboseli is rich in animals.
Temperatures change quickly - cool mornings and hot afternoons are typical.
Some lodges run on generator power, meaning electricity may have scheduled hours.
Mobile network coverage is available but can be spotty inside the park.
Meals are provided at the lodge, but snacks and drinks beyond water are usually at your own cost.
A professional driver-guide will accompany you throughout the safari.
Carrying cash for tips and optional activities, such as Maasai village visits, is recommended.
