Overview

Africa's most photographed mountain backdrop, reached before breakfast: the scheduled morning flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport lands at Amboseli airstrip in around 45 minutes, and on clear mornings Mount Kilimanjaro fills the cabin windows on approach. A 4x4 safari vehicle meets the aircraft for a full day in the park renowned for its free-roaming elephant families — often seen crossing the plains beneath the mountain, alongside buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo in the wetland springs and abundant birdlife; the mountain itself keeps its own schedule and is clearest at dawn. After a picnic lunch and an afternoon sweep past Observation Hill, the return flight has you back at Wilson by late afternoon. Reserve fees, return scheduled flights, airstrip game drives, picnic lunch and Nairobi hotel transfers are included. This day safari operates on the high-season flight timetable (January to March, mid-June to October and mid-to-late December), when the afternoon return service operates; on other dates same-day return is not available on scheduled flights — contact us about alternatives. Luggage on safari flights is limited to 15 kg per person in soft bags.
Amboseli in a day by scheduled morning flight from Nairobi Wilson: airstrip pickup, game drives among elephant herds with Kilimanjaro views, picnic lunch and an afternoon flight back — according to high-season schedules.

Itinerary

1 Early pick-up in Nairobi Open

Pick up from your Nairobi hotel or residence for the drive to Wilson Airport, with check-in about an hour before the scheduled morning departure to Amboseli.

1 hour
2 Morning flight to Amboseli Open

Around 45 minutes in the air — and on clear mornings the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro rise above the horizon before the wheels touch down on the airstrip.

1 hour
3 Airstrip Pickup & Morning Game Drive Open

A safari 4x4 meets the aircraft for the morning drive across Amboseli's plains and wetland edges. The park's famous free‑ranging elephant families are frequently viewed at close, unhurried range — with buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo in the springs and a rich birdlife.

4 hours
4 Picnic Lunch with Views of Mount Kilimanjaro Open

A picnic lunch inside the park — on clear days with Africa's highest mountain filling the southern sky. Kilimanjaro follows its own timetable; dawn and late afternoon give the best chance of a clear summit.

1 hour
5 Afternoon Drive — Observation Hill and the Wetlands Open

Climb Observation Hill for a panorama across the whole park — swamps, plains and the long elephant files below — then a final sweep of the wetland circuits on the way back to the airstrip.

2 hours
6 Afternoon return flight to Wilson Open

The high-season afternoon service returns you to Wilson Airport in around 45 minutes, with savannah dust still on your boots.

1 hour
7 Drop-off at your Nairobi hotel Open

Your driver meets the flight and returns you to your hotel, residence or preferred central drop-off by early evening, depending on traffic.
