Experience the beauty of Amboseli National Park in just two days. This express safari offers you the chance to witness large herds of elephants, enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and experience immersive African wildlife encounters. Ideal for travellers with limited time who want a powerful taste of Kenya's wilderness.
A quick getaway to explore Amboseli's elephants and views of Mt Kilimanjaro.
Your journey begins early in the morning with a hotel or airport pick-up in Nairobi. Enjoy a scenic drive through Kenya’s heartland as you make your way towards Amboseli National Park, located near the Tanzanian border. Along the route, observe rural villages, local markets and sweeping savannah landscapes.
Arrive at Amboseli around midday, check in to your lodge and enjoy a hot lunch. After some rest, set off on your first thrilling game drive across the park’s vast plains. Amboseli is renowned for its large elephant herds, often seen beneath the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro. Keep an eye out for lions, zebras, giraffes, hyenas, buffalo and over 400 bird species.
As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive – the perfect time to catch Amboseli’s wildlife when it’s most active. With Mount Kilimanjaro in the backdrop, capture iconic photos and enjoy the calm of the open plains. You’ll have another chance to spot predators and rare species before the heat of the day sets in.
Return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast. Afterwards, you may visit a nearby Maasai village for a cultural encounter (optional, at extra cost), before checking out and beginning your journey back to Nairobi.
Expect to arrive in Nairobi by mid to late afternoon, concluding your short but unforgettable safari experience.
