Your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel or residence in Nairobi, or the airport. We’ll head out in our private 4x4 Jeep for Amboseli National Park on the Nairobi/Mombasa Highway.

We’ll enjoy lunch at our Amboseli accommodation, with time to freshen up and relax. As promised, the imposing form of Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the scenery of this small park, where wildlife is often spotted through the sparse scrub.
