Starting/pickup location

Your driver/guide will pick you up for the easy road trip to the park. Get into your private 4 x 4
Land Cruiser Jeep and we’ll begin our adventure on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway.
In time, you’ll see the iconic peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro slowly rising in the distance, our beacon to
Amboseli Park. We should arrive in the late morning and have lunch at your safari lodge or
tented camp.
Mt. Kilimanjaro dominates the park’s southern vista with its 19,000 ft. peak. During your time
here at the park, the mountain’s lofty form will be an amazing backdrop for your photos.
We’ll head out on our first game drive, the first of many over your 3-day safari. You’re certain
to see elephant families marching along. But we’ll also be looking for lion, cheetah, giraffe,
zebra, buffalo, leopard, ostrich, warthog, and others.
Toward the evening, the clouds covering Kilimanjaro’s peak may part, revealing its famous
snow-capped summit.
Dinner and overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Day 2 Full day of Game Drives

Being on safari, we’ll rise with the sun and head out for an early morning game drive. We’ll
catch the first light as it breaks upon the plains and Mt. Kilimanjaro. This is a wonderful time to
observe the first stirrings of wildlife.
This drive is followed by breakfast, enjoying the park’s rich ambiance. Then it’s time to pile back
into the Jeep for more wildlife adventures.
The park is an active environment for many kinds of animals – besides the larger game, look for
hyena, fox, jackal, monkey, and baboon.
Lunch is up next and perhaps some relaxing time at your accommodation. The afternoon is up
to you – relax, go on safari, or you can take advantage of an optional visit to the local Maasai
people. Their nearby village will give you an opportunity to meet them and see their ancient
lifestyle up close.
Dinner and overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Day 3 Amboseli Nairobi

This is our third and final safari day so let’s go for more wildlife viewing with an early game
drive. If there are any animals we’ve missed this is a great time to track them as they enter into
the new day.
We may also go to Observation Hill for inspiring views of the park. Don’t forget Amboseli is also
home to a rich variety of birdlife in its marshes. Look for pelican, kingfish, egret, and heron.
You’ve probably worked up an appetite so let’s enjoy breakfast at your lodge or tented camp.
Now it’s time to head back to Nairobi but first, we’ll take a final game drive as we exit the park.
Relax on the easy drive as we exit Maasai country and perhaps reflect on the adventures of the
last 3 days.
We’ll have you back in town by late afternoon and bring you to your hotel, the airport, or
another place of your choosing.
