Tour Plan
Your Amboseli Safari begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. You will meet your professional safari guide, receive a short briefing, and start your journey to Amboseli National Park in a comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser.
As you leave Nairobi, enjoy the changing scenery as you travel through the Kenyan countryside toward Amboseli. The journey offers beautiful views of local villages, farmland, and open landscapes. As you get closer to the park, you may begin to see wildlife, with Mount Kilimanjaro providing a spectacular background when weather conditions are clear.
On arrival at Amboseli National Park, you will proceed to Ol Tukai Lodge for lunch and check-in. The lodge provides a peaceful setting where you can relax and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. After lunch, you will have some time to rest before your first afternoon game drive.
Later in the afternoon, head into the park for your first wildlife adventure. Amboseli is especially famous for its large elephant herds, which are often seen moving across the open plains. Your guide will also help you look for lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, and other wildlife.
The afternoon light creates excellent conditions for photography, especially with Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. After the game drive, return to Ol Tukai Lodge for dinner and your first overnight stay.

After the game drive, return to the lodge for breakfast. You can then relax at the lodge and enjoy its peaceful surroundings or choose to spend more time exploring the park with your guide.
After lunch, head out for an afternoon game drive. Your guide will take you through different parts of Amboseli in search of wildlife. The park's open plains make it easier to spot many animals, while the wetlands provide important water and feeding areas for wildlife.
Elephants are one of the main highlights of the day, but there is much more to see. You may encounter lions resting in the grass, cheetahs searching for prey, giraffes feeding on trees, buffaloes moving in groups, and zebras grazing across the plains. Bird lovers can also look for flamingos, pelicans, eagles, ostriches, and many other species.
