Plan Your Safari

Amboseli

Amboseli is one of the best places in Kenya to spend time with elephants. Families move between the swamps and the dry plains, often with Kilimanjaro on the horizon.

Two nights give you early mornings and late afternoons, when the light is softest and the mountain is most likely to be clear of cloud.

Highlights

  • Elephant families at close range
  • Views of Kilimanjaro on clear mornings
  • Swamps and birdlife
  • Optional time with the local Maasai community

Sample itinerary

This is a sample of how the days can run. Every safari is planned around you, and your own day-by-day plan is confirmed in writing before you book.

  1. Collected from your Nairobi hotel or the airport, you drive south to Amboseli, arriving around lunchtime. An afternoon game drive follows.

  2. Morning and afternoon game drives across the swamps and plains, with a break at your camp or lodge in the heat of the day.

  3. A final early game drive, when Kilimanjaro is often clearest, then the drive back to Nairobi.
