This morning meet your fellow travellers arriving from the Masai Mara and Naivasha, and set off from Nairobi on the scenic 4-hour drive to Amboseli National Park. You will travel in a safari jeep with pop-up roof for game viewing and guaranteed window seat, arriving in time for a late lunch.
Situated in southern Kenya, if the weather is clear this national park offers magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of elephant - you'll often find many of them standing knee deep in the water, spraying themselves to keep cool - but there is a lot of other game here including cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, many types of gazelle and other plains game.
In the afternoon enjoy a game drive, returning as the sun sets.
Note: Due to limited space in the vehicle, rigid suitcases are not suitable. Luggage needs to be packed in soft side bags (sports bags are ideal) not exceeding 15 kg and 65 x 46 cm. On escorted group tours please note that for operational reasons it is sometimes necessary to substitute one hotel with another of similar quality.
