Detailed Itinerary – 3 Days / 2 Nights Amboseli Safari

Day 1: Nairobi → Amboseli National Park

our adventure begins in the morning. If you’re traveling from Nairobi, we’ll pick you up from your hotel or the airport and set off on a scenic drive towards Amboseli. From Diani Beach or Mombasa, you can choose either a road safari through Tsavo or a fly-in safari straight to Amboseli’s airstrip.

On arrival, enjoy lunch at your lodge, with the towering Mount Kilimanjaro as your backdrop. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive. Expect to spot elephants walking in single file, wildebeest grazing, and perhaps even lions lazing in the golden grass.

 Overnight: Lodge or luxury tented camp inside/outside Amboseli National Park.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Amboseli National Park

Wake up early to the crisp morning air. The park is alive with activity at dawn. Herds of elephants cross the plains, hippos return to water, and predators roam in search of prey.

Today is dedicated to full-day game drives with picnic lunches in the wild. Your safari vehicle positions you perfectly for Kilimanjaro photography shots. With patience, you may capture elephants with snow-capped peaks in the background — a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

In the evening, return to your lodge to enjoy a campfire dinner, starry skies, and the distant roar of lions.

Overnight: Lodge or camp.

Day 3: Morning Safari & Return Journey

Your final morning brings another game drive — this is your chance to spot what you missed: cheetahs, hyenas, or the elusive leopard. After breakfast, we begin the journey back to Nairobi, Mombasa, or Diani Beach, carrying unforgettable memories of Amboseli’s wildlife and landscapes.
