During the drive, enjoy the changing landscapes from the lush green of Nairobi to the arid plains of Athi River and eventually the plains of Amboseli.

Lookout for the majestic glimpse of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance, signaling you’re the Park. Arrive in time for lunch. Take a much deserved rest in your appointed tent or room before your first game drive.

In the late afternoon, set out and explore the park’s abundant families of elephants marching before the scenic backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. With the help of the experienced guide, track the lions, leopards, cheetahs among themultiple wildlife species that call the park home.

Return to the camp by late evening for refreshments and dinner.

You get to start your game drive early today. A pre-dawn drive is the best time to see many carnivorous animals at their most active. Return to the camp for breakfast and check out.
