Description

Amboseli is set on the Kenyan plains with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in the distance, the park is world-famous for its substantial population of African Elephants which can be seen in herds of over 100 individuals. In particular the large bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in the animal kingdom. Also to be spotted are ample herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, as well as giraffes and warthog. With all this variety you can be sure a healthy population of predators also call Amboseli home. Lions, leopards, caracals, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and serval cats are all frequently seen in the park.

Itinerary

480 min

Pick up from your hotel, residence within Nairobi CBD or the airport. Depart for the Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi – Mombasa highway. We catch the African sunrise as we progress towards Amboseli. The morning drive is via African savanna country dotted with local homesteads and colorful Masai herdsmen grazing their cattle. On arrival at the Amboseli, proceed for a game viewing drive in search of Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Lion, Cheetah, Warthog, Ostrich and more… The Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the skyline and surrounding country. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the world. While Mount Kilimanjaro remains in the background we shall marvel at the wildlife and scenery found in this park. Enjoy buffet lunch at OLTUKAI lodge. A short early afternoon game viewing drive as we exit the park. Later depart for Nairobi to arrive in the early evening. Drop off at your hotel or residence within Nairobi CBD or the airport.

30 min

Watch elephants bathe in a swamp from the summit of Observation Hill, a pyramid-shaped volcanic hill rising over the predominantly flat Amboseli National Park. Admire a view of the plains and swamps against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. One of the best places to see elephants, the observation point draws lots of tourists, both local and international. In addition to large mammals gathering here to drink, you can also see flocks of pink flamingos. Bring binoculars and a powerful lens for good pictures

30 min

The Great Rift Valley is a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 6,000 kilometres (3,700 mi) in total length, that runs from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon which is in Asia to Mozambique in Southeast Africa. While the name continues in some usages, it is rarely used in geology as it is considered an imprecise merging of separate though related rift and fault systems.
