Nairobi to Amboseli and First Game Drive
- 07:30 hrs. - Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Nairobi airport. Hop into the 4 x 4 for the beginning of your journey to Amboseli Park along the Nairobi-Mombasa Road.
- Along the way, we'll take in the African sun rising over the savannah. Look for local homesteads and the Maasai herdsmen in their colourful wraps, tending to their cattle.
- Even before you arrive at Amboseli, you'll be guided by the unmistakable summit of Kilimanjaro, drawing you to the park. We'll arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or tented camp.
- After fortifying ourselves, we'll venture out on our first game drive looking for elephant, lion, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, ostrich, and many others.
- Amboseli is known as a park where wildlife viewing is easy and abundant. The lack of dense foliage helps safari-goers and their expert guides more quickly spot the park's many and diverse animals.
- The reserve is also a photographer's dream, framed by the snowy flanks and summit of Kilimanjaro. Toward the evening, and sometimes early morning, the daytime clouds obscuring this tallest peak drift off, giving lucky viewers a stunning view of the mountain's iconic summit.
We'll spend the night in the park at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp. Also, choose from economy, comfort, or luxury accommodations, depending on your budget, style, and taste.
