Amboseli, Tsavo West & Diani Beach Safari

We’ll be arriving at Amboseli National Park around mid-morning, plenty of time for a game drive and to get familiar with the park before lunch. Here, you can’t miss the sights of Mt. Kilimanjaro nor the very present herds of elephants – so many you’re guaranteed to see them moving along the park.

An afternoon wildlife game viewing drive is scheduled for the late afternoon when animals are at their most active.

Amboseli is a small park but very dense with wildlife. You’re guaranteed elephant sightings as well as the stunning backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro framing the park. Return for dinner and overnight at your Amboseli tented safari camp/ safari lodge.

This massive summit surveys the plains of Amboseli and serves as a picturesque background for the vast herds of free-ranging elephants you’ll see throughout the park. Keep an eye out for other big game like lion, leopard and Maasai giraffe as well.

The park also features a diversity of landforms, and you may travel through wetlands, savannah, woodlands with a visit to the Amboseli observation hill giving us an incredible view of the park and some of its wildlife.

You’ll have fun on these many game drives, but you’ll also have plenty of time for relaxation at your safari lodge or tented safari campground. Just let us know your preferences.

You can also take advantage of an optional visit to the local Maasai village to meet its people and learn about their nomadic culture and way of life, one of the special highlights of this African safari holiday.
