Overview
Experience one of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destinations on this 2-day Amboseli National Park safari from Nairobi. Travel through southern Kenya to a landscape of open grasslands, acacia woodland, seasonal lake beds, marshes and swamps beneath the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Amboseli is particularly renowned for close encounters with large elephant herds. Its varied habitats also support lions, other plains wildlife and abundant birdlife, making it an excellent destination for wildlife viewing and photography. Observation Hill provides panoramic views across the park and the surrounding ecosystem.
After arriving from Nairobi, enjoy lunch at your lodge or tented camp before departing on an afternoon game drive. The following morning begins with another wildlife-viewing drive, offering a chance to experience the park during the cooler early hours and see Mount Kilimanjaro when weather conditions permit.
Visit Observation Hill, enjoy lunch and complete the safari with a final en-route game drive before travelling back to Nairobi. This short itinerary is suitable for travellers who want to experience Amboseli’s elephants, landscapes and wildlife within a compact two-day programme. The source itinerary includes one overnight stay, afternoon and morning game drives, meals at the lodge and return transport to Nairobi.
