Description

Escape the bustle of Nairobi and journey south on a full-day safari to Amboseli National Park, renowned for its iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and thriving wildlife. Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel, setting off toward the Kenya-Tanzania border as the sunrise lights up the savannah. Arriving at Amboseli, you'll dive straight into an exciting game drive across the park’s open plains, wetlands, and acacia woodland. Amboseli is famous for its large herds of free-roaming elephants, offering some of the best up-close wildlife sightings in East Africa. Keep your camera ready for zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, lions and, if lucky cheetahs. The park’s open terrain and sparse vegetation provide excellent visibility for game viewing. At midday, enjoy a picnic lunch in a scenic spot within the park or opt for a warm meal at a lodge, depending on your tour setup. Afterward, continue your adventure with a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai village. Here, you’ll be welcomed with song and dance, witness traditional huts (manyattas), and learn about the customs, daily life, and unique heritage of the Maasai people. As the sun begins to set, you’ll start your journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the evening with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes, and vibrant culture—all in one incredible day.
