3 Days Amboseli Safari

• Kenya Safari

An unforgettable 3-day safari adventure in Amboseli National Park, a jewel of Kenya’s wildlife reserves. From the bustling city of Nairobi, we’ll set out on an easy road trip in our private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep, ready to explore the wonders of Amboseli.

As we leave the city behind, the landscape changes, and you’ll catch glimpses of Maasai herders adorned in their colorful shuka wraps, tending to their cattle in the vast savannah. The majestic peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, standing at an impressive 19,000 feet, looms in the distance, guiding our way toward the park.

Arriving at Amboseli in the late morning, you’ll be captivated by the awe-inspiring sight of Kilimanjaro dominating the park’s southern horizon. Your camera will be put to good use as this magnificent mountain serves as a breathtaking backdrop for your wildlife photos.

Our first game drive begins, and we’ll encounter one of Amboseli’s most iconic residents – the majestic elephants. You’ll witness these gentle giants, often in family groups, roaming gracefully across the plains. But the diversity of wildlife doesn’t stop there – we’ll be on the lookout for lion, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, leopard, ostrich, warthog, and more.

As the day winds down, keep your eyes on Kilimanjaro as the clouds surrounding its peak may part, revealing its famous snow-capped summit, an enchanting sight to behold.

For the next day, we’ll rise with the sun, eager to embark on an early morning game drive. The soft golden light of the morning sun casts a magical glow over the park, creating the perfect setting for wildlife viewing. Alongside the larger game, Amboseli’s dynamic environment is home to hyenas, foxes, jackals, monkeys, and baboons, adding even more excitement to your safari adventure.

After breakfast, you’ll have the freedom to choose how to spend your afternoon. You can continue exploring the park on safari, or opt for a cultural experience – a visit to a nearby Maasai village. Here, you’ll have the unique opportunity to meet the local Maasai people, learn about their ancient lifestyle, and witness their vibrant traditions up close.

On our third and final day, we’ll set out on another exhilarating game drive to spot any wildlife we may have missed. If luck is on our side, we might even catch a glimpse of elusive animals making their entrance into the new day.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on the park’s marshes, where a rich variety of birdlife thrives. Pelicans, kingfishers, egrets, and herons are among the many species you might encounter.

As our adventure comes to an end, we’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast at your lodge or tented camp. Then, we’ll embark on a final game drive as we exit the park, offering a last opportunity to savor the beauty of Maasai country and reminisce about the unforgettable experiences of the past three days.

By late afternoon, we’ll be back in Nairobi, ready to drop you off at your preferred destination. This safari to Amboseli is just the beginning of the many exceptional wildlife parks Kenya has to offer. We hope you’ll return for more thrilling adventures with Africa Kenya Safaris. We thank you for entrusting us with your safari journey and look forward to arranging your next holiday!
