Itinerary

  • Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park


    4 - 5 Hour Drive
    Meals: Lunch & Dinner


    Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel at 6:00 AM. As you leave the city behind, you'll journey south towards Amboseli, watching the landscape transform from urban sprawl to rural villages and finally to open savannah.

    Arriving at Amboseli around midday, you'll check in at Manjaro Tented Camp, your home for the next two nights. After a hearty lunch and brief rest, set out for your first game drive around 3:30 PM.

    As the heat of the day subsides, wildlife becomes more active. Keep your eyes peeled for herds of elephants silhouetted against the majestic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Your guide will help you spot other animals like zebras, wildebeest, and perhaps even lions preparing for their evening hunt.

    As the sun sets, painting the sky in vibrant hues, you'll return to camp for dinner and a well-earned rest. Fall asleep to the sounds of the African night, with the possibility of distant elephant trumpets or lion roars.

    Dinner and overnight stay at Manjaro Tented Camp.

  • Day 2: Full Day Exploring Amboseli

    Game Drives & Cultural Visit
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner


    Wake up early to catch the sunrise over Kilimanjaro (weather permitting) before enjoying breakfast at camp. Today is dedicated to exploring the diverse ecosystems of Amboseli.

    Set out at 6:30 AM for a morning game drive when animals are most active. Visit the park's famous swamps, home to numerous bird species and a favorite hangout for elephants. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the park's ecology and wildlife behavior.

    Return to camp for lunch and a short rest during the heat of the day. In the afternoon, you have two options:
    1. Another game drive, focusing on areas you haven't yet explored. Visit Observation Hill for panoramic views of the park and to spot hippos and birds in the marshes below.
    2. A visit to a local Maasai village (extra cost). Learn about traditional Maasai culture, visit a local home, and perhaps join in a traditional dance.

    As the day winds down, enjoy a final evening game drive, looking out for predators beginning their nightly routines. Return to camp for dinner and another night under the African stars.

    Dinner and overnight stay at Manjaro Tented Camp.

  • Day 3: Amboseli to Nairobi

    4 - 5 Hour Drive
    Meals: Breakfast & Lunch


    Rise early for one last game drive, departing at 6:00 AM to catch the park at its most active. This is your final chance to spot any wildlife you might have missed and to soak in the magnificent views of Kilimanjaro in the morning light.

    Return to camp for breakfast and check-out around 9:00 AM. Begin the journey back to Nairobi, with the option to stop at curio shops along the way for souvenirs.

    Arriving in Nairobi in the early afternoon, you have the option to enjoy lunch at the famous Carnivore Restaurant (at your own expense), known for its game meats and festive atmosphere.

    Your safari concludes with a drop-off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport by 4:00 PM, filled with memories of your Amboseli adventure.
