Day 1: Nairobi – Amboseli (Afternoon Game Drive)

Your safari adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, or your preferred location in Nairobi. From there, you’ll head south through the scenic Kenyan countryside toward Amboseli National Park, famed for its sweeping landscapes and iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain.

You’ll arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for lunch. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive in Amboseli, known for its large elephant herds, free-roaming giraffes, and rich birdlife.

After breakfast, enjoy a full day of exploration in Amboseli. Game drives will take you across the park’s open savannah, acacia woodlands, and swamplands fed by underground rivers flowing from Kilimanjaro’s glaciers.

Early mornings offer the best chance to view Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak. You’ll also visit Observation Hill for panoramic views of the park. Wildlife sightings often include elephants at close range, along with lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, and possibly hyenas. Return to your lodge or camp for a second overnight stay.
