🗓️ Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli
Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, or any preferred location in Nairobi. From there, drive south through the scenic Maasai countryside toward Amboseli National Park. Along the way, enjoy views of rural Kenya and, weather permitting, catch your first glimpse of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.
Arrive at your lodge or camp in time for lunch, followed by check-in and a short rest. In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive. Keep your eyes open for elephants, zebras, wildebeests, lions, giraffes, and more, all set against the stunning backdrop of Africa’s highest peak. Return to your lodge or camp in the evening for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 2: Full Day in Amboseli
Start the day early with breakfast before heading out on a morning game drive, when many animals are most active. One of the highlights is a visit to Observation Hill, which offers sweeping views of the park, including its swamps and wildlife-filled plains. Continue to the permanent swamps where elephants, hippos, and a variety of bird species gather. Afterward, return to your lodge or camp for lunch and a brief rest.
In the afternoon, choose to go on another game drive or simply relax at the lodge. Optional experiences include a spa treatment or a sundowner in the wild. Amboseli is a haven for bird enthusiasts, with chances to spot herons, egrets, kingfishers, and birds of prey. For those interested in cultural immersion, an optional visit to a nearby Maasai village offers insight into traditional Maasai life. Enjoy dinner and your overnight stay within the park.
