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 safari 4x4 meets the aircraft for a full day in the park famous for its free-ranging elephant families — often seen crossing the plains beneath the mountain, along with buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo in the wetland springs and superb 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 runs 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 the 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 the elephant herds with Kilimanjaro views, picnic lunch, and the afternoon flight back — on high-season schedules.

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 often seen at close, unhurried range — along with buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo in the springs and a wealth of birdlife.
