Day 1: Arrival in Amboseli National Park
You will be picked up from Nairobi in the morning by your driver-guide, and after a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley, you will arrive at Amboseli National Park in about 4-5 hours. Upon arrival, check into your camp where you’ll enjoy lunch while taking in the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
After lunch, embark on a game drive in the park, which is known for its large elephant herds, especially around the Amboseli Swamps. As you explore the park, you may also encounter zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, buffaloes, and possibly lions or cheetahs. Bird enthusiasts will enjoy spotting the many bird species that call the park home. The stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro makes for excellent photo opportunities.
In the evening, return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation. If you’re interested, you may have the chance to visit a nearby Maasai village for a cultural experience, learning about the Maasai people’s way of life and traditions.
Accommodation: Kibo Safari Camp
Day 2: Morning Game Drive – Return to Nairobi
Start your second day early with a game drive to catch the wildlife at its most active. The early morning is the best time to spot predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, as well as large herds of elephants and other wildlife. The Amboseli Swamps are particularly great for viewing elephants as they drink and bathe. With Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, the landscape offers unforgettable photographic moments.
After the game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast and check out. You will then begin the drive back to Nairobi. The scenic 4–5-hour journey offers views of the Rift Valley and local villages, and you will arrive in Nairobi by late afternoon, where you will be dropped off at your hotel or at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your departure flight.
