Upon arrival in Amboseli, check into your lodge and enjoy lunch. You will have time to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings before beginning your first wildlife adventure.
In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive. Amboseli is well known for its large elephant herds, and you may also see lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and other wildlife moving across the plains. On a clear day, Mount Kilimanjaro provides a beautiful backdrop for photographs.
After the game drive, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, ready for a full day of exploration ahead.
Begin the day with an early morning game drive. The cool morning hours are one of the best times for wildlife viewing because many animals are active before the heat of the day becomes stronger.
The sunrise can also create beautiful views across Amboseli, especially when Mount Kilimanjaro is visible in the distance. After the morning drive, return to the lodge for breakfast.
