07:30 hrs. Tour driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence or the airport.
We’ll head out in your private safari land cruiser/tour 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 their colorful wraps.
You will arrive in Amboseli National Park in the late morning.
Entering the park, you can’t miss the wall of mountain to the south – this is lege -TOURndary mt Kilimanjaro, known as the “roof of Africa”, rising to 19,000 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 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 as well as zebra, giraffe, cheetah, warthog, ostrich and many more.
Toward evening, the cloud cover obscuring Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped summit may clear, giving you one of Africa’s most striking vistas.
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 drive 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 lion and leopard 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 some relaxing time. The day is yours to spend as you want.
If you want to fill your day with unlimited game drives, your guide is available to make that happen as well.
You will relax and spend your second and final night at the park
