Download BrochureYour adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or apartment, ensuring we reach the gates of Nairobi National Park just as the African sun begins to rise. This is the prime time for predator activity; keep your eyes peeled for lions and the elusive leopard returning from their night hunts. As you traverse the park, you will witness the unique contrast of wild giraffes, zebras, and the endangered Black Rhino grazing against the backdrop of the modern city skyline. After a morning of exploration and birdwatching at the hippo pools, we will pause for a refreshing lunch at a nearby restaurant.
In the afternoon, we leave the city behind and head south toward Amboseli National Park. The four-hour drive takes you through the heart of Maasai land, offering scenic views of the vast savannah and local homesteads along the way. Upon arrival at Sentrim Amboseli lodge, you will check in and have time to relax and enjoy the lodge's amenities. The evening concludes with a gourmet dinner and a peaceful overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
The second day starts with an early breakfast followed by a sunrise game drive. This is your best opportunity to view Mount Kilimanjaro in its full glory before the midday clouds gather around its snow-capped peak. Amboseli is world-renowned for its massive "Tuskers"—herds of elephants that have roamed these swamps for decades. We will drive through diverse habitats, from dried-out lake beds to lush sulfur springs, searching for cheetahs, buffalo, and a vibrant array of waterbirds. A highlight of the morning is a visit to Observation Hill, where you can disembark and walk to the summit for a breathtaking 360-degree view of the entire park and the emerald-green marshes below. Following a final mid-morning game drive to maximize your wildlife sightings, we will enjoy a farewell lunch at the lodge. The safari concludes with a comfortable journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the early evening for a direct transfer to your residence or the airport.
