Day 1
Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our representative and transferred to Amboseli National Park, famous for its big game and scenic beauty with the landscape dominated by Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers an interesting contrast with its dry and dusty appearance, which can be attributed to the volcanic ash that came out of Mount Kilimanjaro when it last erupted. In spite of the appearance, there is a continuous supply of water that gets filtered through volcanic rocks from Kilimanjaro's melted snow. These streams flow underground, creating lush green areas, and converge at two clear water springs in the park. Late in the afternoon, drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
