Classic Comfortable Safari Living Just Minutes from Kimana Gate
AA Lodge Amboseli offers comfortable accommodation near Amboseli National Park with pool, restaurant, bar, spa, and panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro ideal for safari travellers.
Aa Lodge Amboseli is a welcoming three-star hotel-style property offering dependable value close to Amboseli National Park. Spacious lawns, an outdoor swimming pool with a separate children's pool, a playground and three conference halls make it especially practical for families and larger tour groups, while sunset views of Mount Kilimanjaro can be enjoyed from the grounds on clear evenings.
The lodge lies about 4 km from Amboseli's Kimana Gate, putting the park's elephant-rich central marshes within easy reach for morning and afternoon game drives. Travellers driving from Nairobi follow the Mombasa highway to Emali and then the Loitokitok road, a journey of roughly 240 km taking four to four and a half hours; alternatively, a 40-minute scheduled flight from Wilson Airport lands at Amboseli's airstrip, with a road transfer of around 35 to 40 minutes to the lodge.
The 64 rooms range from single and twin rooms through doubles and triples to a dedicated honeymooner category, all en suite with private balconies or terraces facing the gardens or, in some cases, Kilimanjaro. Buffet dining, a poolside bar and room service keep the stay easy-going rather than formal.
The lodge makes a sensible base for exploring Amboseli National Park and fits neatly into the 8-day Kenya safari that links Amboseli with Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara.
A larger room with three beds, suitable for small groups or families, featuring the same comforts and views.
A cozy room with one or two beds, en‑suite bathroom, private balcony or terrace, and views of the gardens or Kilimanjaro — ideal for solo travellers or friends sharing.
A comfortable double bed setup with private bathroom, balcony, and seating area great for couples.
Designed for couples, offering a cozy setting, en‑suite bathroom, and lovely views ideal for romantic getaways.

Nairobi to Amboseli flight time: A scheduled 40 to 45-minute domestic flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport (WIL) directly to the main Amboseli National Park Airstrip.
Airstrip transfer to lodge: A 35 to 40-minute scenic road transfer through the national park connects the airstrip straight to the AA Lodge gates.
Nairobi to Amboseli driving time: Approximately 4 to 4.5 hours (around 240 km) traveling via the smooth tarmac of the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway, branching off south at the Emali junction along the Emali-Loitokitok road.
Mombasa to Amboseli driving time: Approximately 5.5 to 6 hours traveling past Tsavo West and entering through the eastern corridor via Kimana town.
Vehicle requirements for access: Highly accessible via standard 2WD tour vans on the main approach roads, though a 4x4 safari vehicle is highly recommended for game viewing inside the actual national park tracks.
June to October (Peak Dry Season): The best time for wildlife viewing near AA Lodge Amboseli. Low water levels across the region force massive concentrations of game to gather inside the park's central marshlands, creating premier safari conditions.
January to February (Short Dry Season): The best time for clear Mount Kilimanjaro views. Crisp, low-cloud mornings offer iconic postcard photography windows right across the lodge lawns before the afternoon haze rolls in.
November to December (Short Rains / Green Season): The best time for bird watching and value rates. Brief, heavy afternoon rain showers settle the dust, bringing the savannah to life with vibrant greenery and migratory bird species.
March to May (Long Rains / Low Season): The best time for budget safari discounts. While park tracks become muddy and require robust 4x4 driving, it offers the absolute lowest accommodation rates of the year and crowd-free game viewing.
