Day 1

Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Your driver-guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Nairobi airport. You'll hop into the 4x4 for the beginning of your journey to Amboseli Park along the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. Even before you arrive at Amboseli, you'll be guided by the unmistakable summit of Kilimanjaro, drawing you to the park.

You'll arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or tented camp. After lunch, you'll venture out on our first game drive looking for elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, ostriches, and so many others. Amboseli is renowned for its easy and abundant wildlife viewing. The park is also a photographer's dream, framed by the snowy flanks and summit of Kilimanjaro. Toward the evening and sometimes early morning, the daytime clouds obscuring this tallest peak drift off, giving lucky viewers a stunning view of the mountain's iconic summit.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Kibo Safari Camp.
