Amboseli National Park: Day Trip from Nairobi

The Amboseli National Park tour begins with a pickup from your hotel or place and then heads out to the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

The sun will rise, flooding the passing fields with its early morning color. Look for local homesteads and Maasai herders wrapped in their colorful shuka cloth.

See the ever-broadening image of Mt. Kilimanjaro as the driver leads you to Amboseli Park. On this scenic drive, you will likely see great trains of elephants parading before the mountain’s lovely backdrop.

Breakfast will follow at the Ol Tukai Lodge, and then you’ll set out for the park’s marshes, plains, and hills in search of lion, zebra, buffalo, cheetah, gazelle, and elephants.

Then, head to the park’s observation hill for a walking break to view the expanse of the areas below and the scenery beyond. The tour ends as you drive back to Nairobi to your hotel late in the evening.
