Know before you go

Respect wildlife: always follow your guide's instructions regarding safety and wildlife viewing. Never get out of the vehicle unless instructed to do so by your guide.
Tipping: tips for guides, drivers, and camp staff are customary and appreciated. A general guideline is USD 10-20 per day per person and USD 5-10 per day for camp staff. You can either give cash directly or leave tips at the camp's designated areas.
Accommodation availability: the luxury accommodations are subject to availability at the time of booking.
Conservation efforts: many camps and parks, including those you'll visit, are involved in conservation efforts. It's important to respect park rules and regulations to protect the environment and wildlife.
Maasai interactions: in Amboseli, you may interact with Maasai people. Be respectful of their culture and traditions, and always ask for permission before taking photographs of individuals.
Transfers: your safari package includes transfers from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to your first destination. If you're arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your charter flight to Amboseli.
Safari conclusion: your safari concludes with a flight from Tsavo East back to Nairobi, where you will be transferred to your hotel or the international airport for your onward flight.
Optional aerial safari: an optional, unforgettable experience is available over Amboseli or Tsavo West, providing an aerial view of the wildlife and landscape.
Patience is key: safaris often involve long drives, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Patience, along with an open mind and an appreciation for nature, will make the experience more rewarding.
Hot air balloon safari is optional.
