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 heads south.

Settle in for the drive south to Amboseli National Park and watch Kenya change outside your window — city traffic thinning into open country 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 road, then sit down to lunch with the sounds of the bush all around you — recharging for the afternoon game drive.

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 will set the route based on wildlife movement, light and road conditions, following the best chances of the day.

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

As the light fades, return to your lodge or camp to freshen up, share the day's sightings over dinner, and relax 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 an easy pace, bags packed and cameras 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 turns golden and the animals are on the move. The route follows the morning's wildlife activity, so no two drives are 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 the chance to stretch your legs and freshen up before the final leg of the drive.

Back on the road for the final stretch to Nairobi, watching the open countryside gradually give way to the city as your two-day safari comes 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.
