Game drives in Amboseli National Park
Game drives in Amboseli National Park
On this day, you can discuss with the guide and choose to go for a full-day game drive or morning and afternoon game drives. Amboseli is known for its large elephant herds and views of the immense Mount Kilimanjaro, across the border in Tanzania. Because the vegetation here can get sparse during the dry months, the park offers wonderful opportunities for spotting animals. The birdlife is also abundant in Amboseli, especially around the swamp and marshlands of the park. You’ll find raptors and also water birds like pelican, crake and kingfisher.
For even more wildlife viewing, we’ll take a ride up to Observation Hill. This vantage point will give us an overall vista of the entire park. Check out the swamps below where the elephants gather daily. You can also walk about the hill as it’s one of the few places in the park you can explore on foot.
You will have dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.

Game drives in Maasai Mara National Reserve
On this day, you can choose to go on a full-day game drive in the Mara or morning and afternoon game drives. Between the game drives, there is the optional visit to a local Maasai village(payments to be made directly) which can be conducted. The trees in the distance might turn out to be a family of giraffes. Those clumps of bushes could be a pride of lions and the rock that moves could be a rhino lumbering out of your way.
You could also encounter a herd of elephants crossing the path in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment—a family of warthogs may amuse you, running as fast as their little legs will carry them until they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup.
