Day 1

Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our company representatives for a meet and greet, as well as safari briefings. You will then be driven to Nairobi National Park via the Mombasa Road highway. We will arrive at the camp with enough time to settle in before lunch, with a little time to relax before we head out for our afternoon game drive.

We explore one of Kenya’s most popular tourist parks for the opportunity to see animals against the backdrop of Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. The elephants are the kings of the park, no doubt. They are fond of the swamp areas in the park, where they share the cool waters with hippos and hide beneath the paprus.
