Detailed Itinerary

Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel, residence or agreed location in Nairobi. Meet your professional safari guide and depart for Amboseli National Park, travelling through the scenic landscapes of southern Kenya. The journey takes you through local towns, villages and open countryside before arriving at the park. As you approach Amboseli, the landscape opens into vast savannah plains with the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro often dominating the horizon on clear days. Enter the park and begin your first en route game drive, allowing you to start experiencing the wildlife even before reaching your lodge. Amboseli is particularly famous for its large elephant population, many of which can be seen moving across the plains with Kilimanjaro as a spectacular backdrop. Proceed to Ol Tukai Lodge for check-in and lunch. After some time to relax, head out for an afternoon game drive. Explore the park's wetlands, open plains and acacia-covered areas in search of elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and numerous bird species. The late afternoon is particularly rewarding as wildlife becomes more active in the cooler temperatures. Return to the lodge as the sun sets over the Amboseli plains.
