2-Day Amboseli National Park Safari — departs Nairobi

Karibu! Meet your driver-guide in Nairobi for a warm welcome and a short briefing on the two days ahead — the route, the plan and what to look out for — before your safari heads south.

Settle in for the drive south to Amboseli National Park and watch Kenya change outside your window — city traffic thinning into open countryside as the park draws near — with comfort stops whenever you need them.

Arrive at your Amboseli lodge or camp, check in and shake off the trip, then sit down to lunch to the sounds of the bush around you — recharge for the afternoon game drive ahead.

Head out on a guided afternoon game drive across the open plains of Amboseli National Park — famed for elephant herds and, on clear afternoons, views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Your guide sets the route by wildlife movement, light and road conditions, always following the day's best opportunities.

On request and when hosts are available, visit a Maasai community near Amboseli National Park — a welcome from your hosts, a look at daily life and traditions, and the chance to hear the community's story told in its own words.

As the light fades, head back to your lodge or camp to freshen up, share the day's sightings over dinner, and unwind to the sounds of an Amboseli evening.

Wake to a relaxed breakfast at your lodge or camp — fuel for the morning game drive ahead, at the hour when the park is at its liveliest.

Check out at a relaxed pace, bags packed and cameras ready — the safari isn't over yet, and the morning game drive still lies ahead.

Make the most of the prime early hours on a guided morning game drive through Amboseli National Park, when the air is cool, the light is golden and the animals are on the move. The route follows the morning's wildlife activity, so no two drives are ever the same.

Begin the return drive towards Nairobi, trading Amboseli's plains for wide views of the Kenyan countryside — a chance to relax, sort your photographs and let the safari settle in, with comfort stops whenever you need them.

Break the journey with a relaxed lunch and a chance to stretch your legs and freshen up before the final leg of the drive.

Back on the road for the last stretch to Nairobi, watching the open country give way gradually to the city as your two-day safari draws to a close.

Your safari ends with drop-off at the agreed hotel, residence, airport or pick-up point in Nairobi, concluding two days in the shadow of Kilimanjaro.
