Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Morning: After breakfast at Nairobi Serena Hotel, you will drive via Emali to Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge.

Midday: Slow down and take a break as we serve you lunch.

Afternoon: Come and enjoy all that Amboseli has to offer on a guided game drive this afternoon. Elephants, big cats, and Mt. Kilimanjaro views are all possible as you explore the park with an expert guide.

Amboseli may be smaller than many other Kenyan parks, but it packs a lot into a very small space. For starters, the views here are astonishing, with Africa's highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), looming over the park to the south. Best of all, the mountain provides a backdrop for many fantastic wildlife sightings that almost always include elephants with large tusks, as well as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeests, and gazelles. Birders can also look for the park's 420 different recorded species.

One of our favorite places to look for wildlife in Kenya is the Masai Mara National Reserve. That's because the wildlife here is incredible, with big cats (lions, leopards, and cheetahs) and elephants among the highlights. There's a very good chance you'll also see giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and, of course, impalas. Bring your binoculars, because more than 500 species of birds have been recorded in the reserve. It's also a place of beautiful savannah landscapes, with many acacia trees.
