Nairobi to Amboseli National Park – At the Foot of Kilimanjaro

Nairobi to Amboseli National Park – At the Foot of Kilimanjaro

Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or airport in your private, custom-built 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser. Leave the bustling capital behind as you drive south through the scenic Maasai plains, arriving at your mid-range lodge in Amboseli in time for a fresh lunch.
After a short rest, head out for your first afternoon game drive. Amboseli is world-famous for its massive herds of free-ranging elephants and unmatched views of Mount Kilimanjaro. As the afternoon cools, the clouds around the mountain's snow-capped peak often clear, providing the perfect photographic backdrop as you track lions, cheetahs, and giant tuskers wandering through the swamps. Return to the lodge at sunset for dinner and a relaxing evening.
