Day 02

Full-Day Game Drive in Amboseli

  • Have breakfast at the lodge and proceed for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch with your Amboseli safari tour guide. There are good chances to see Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day early in the morning. Arid-looking Amboseli has historically supported both game and the Masai, who kept their herds of cattle here. Thanks to the waters that run off Africa's greatest mountain, the apparently dry Amboseli, Kenya's first game sanctuary, is able to support its wildlife. Mount Kilimanjaro broods high over Amboseli, generally cloaked by clouds but appearing in all its snow-shrouded magnificence from time to time. The mountain now provides water for the park, wonderful views, and, of course, the most glorious background for animal photography. On a clear day, the sunset in Amboseli is simply out of this world.

  • Consider the option to visit the Masai Village at an extra cost to see their way of life and learn more about their culture.

Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
