Description
During this tour, you will embark on a thrilling safari experience starting from Nairobi and heading towards Amboseli National Park. The journey begins with a scenic drive through the African savannah, offering glimpses of Maasai herdsmen tending to their flocks. Upon arrival at Amboseli, the magnificent Mt. Kilimanjaro will greet you, serving as a breathtaking backdrop throughout your adventure.
Day 1: Nairobi – Amboseli:
We will pick you up from your Nairobi Hotel, residence, or the Nairobi airport at 07:30 hrs.
We’ll head out in your private 4 x 4 safari Van, on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway. This is a relaxing drive through African savannah country, with local homesteads punctuating the vast plain. Watch for Maasai herdsmen, draped in colorful wraps as they tend to their flocks. We should arrive in Amboseli National Park in the late morning.
Entering the park, you can’t miss the wall of a mountain to the south – this is legendary Mt. Kilimanjaro, known as the “roof of Africa”, rising to 19,340 feet. It’s the continent’s tallest peak and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. This is the backdrop to much of the park’s wildlife and is always a gift to photographers, so have your camera ready for
the next 3 days!
We’ll enjoy lunch at your accommodation and then head out for an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is known for its relative ease in wildlife spotting. All of Africa’s Big Five are here, including zebra, giraffe, cheetah, warthog, ostrich, and many more. Toward evening, the cloud cover obscuring Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped summit may clear, giving us one of
Africa’s most striking vistas.
Meal Plan: Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Kibo Safari Camp
Day 2: Amboseli Full Day:
We like to rise early while on safari to set an adventurous tone for the day. We’ll watch the light breaking upon the park and catch the wildlife as it appears on the savannah. Our next assignment: breakfast! And then another morning game drives through the park. One of the advantages of Amboseli is that the terrain is open with thin foliage. This makes the game spotting easier. We’ll be watching for lions and leopards and the park’s almost ever-present great parade of elephants. Seeing the magnificent elephants patrolling in line before the majesty of Kilimanjaro is a special treat of this reserve.
Lunch at your accommodation is next and perhaps some relaxing time. The day is yours to pace as you want. Should you want to fill your day with unlimited game drives, your guide is available to make that happen as well.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Kibo Safari Camp
Day 3: Amboseli – Nairobi:
Our final day in the park and we want to squeeze in all the game viewing we can. We’ll start on a pre-breakfast safari and see whom we can check off our list. Don’t forget to look for the smaller animals here like hyenas, foxes, jackals, and monkeys. There’s also a colorful variety of rich birdlife in the park – pelicans, kingfishers, egrets, and herons are found
near the park’s marshes and lakes.
We’ll enjoy one more Amboseli breakfast, with views of great Kilimanjaro, and then a final game drive as we exit the reserve.
