This one-day Amboseli safari combines a road journey through Kenya’s countryside with guided game drives in search of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalo and other wildlife.
On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro provides a spectacular backdrop to the plains. Wildlife sightings and mountain visibility depend on natural conditions, but the journey offers an opportunity to experience a different side of Kenya in a single day.
