2-Day Amboseli National Park Safari, departing 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 sets off 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 breaks whenever you need them.

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

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

On request and subject to host availability, visit a Maasai community near Amboseli National Park — a welcome from your hosts, an insight into daily life and traditions, and the chance to hear the community's story told in its own words.

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

Wake to a leisurely 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 leisurely pace, bags packed and camera ready — the safari is not 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 leisurely lunch and an opportunity to stretch your legs and refresh 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.
