Nairobi to Amboseli National Park – At the Foot of Kilimanjaro

Depart Nairobi early in the morning in your private 4x4 Land Cruiser, heading south toward the border town of Emali. The smooth highway journey cuts through the vast, open Namanga plains, where you will catch your first glimpses of Maasai herdsmen grazing their livestock alongside roadside wildlife.
As you approach the park, the legendary, snow-capped silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro begins to dominate the horizon, creating a breathtaking backdrop for your entry. Arrive at Kibo Safari Camp in time for a warm welcome and a delicious lunch.
At 03:30 PM, head out for your first game drive. Amboseli is world-renowned for its giant elephant herds wallowing in emerald-green marshes. Track these magnificent tuskers alongside lions and cheetahs, watching an unforgettable golden hour sunset cast a pink hue over the snows of Kilimanjaro before dinner.

We will visit Mzima Springs, a crystal-clear oasis where millions of gallons of water filter through underground volcanic rock. Walk along the shaded banks and peer through the unique underwater viewing chamber to watch hippos and crocodiles swimming.
Arrive at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge for a fresh lunch on the open-air terrace, enjoying views of the Chyulu Hills.
