Your 3-day Amboseli safari begins with an early morning pickup from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, your Nairobi hotel, or your residence in Nairobi. You will be welcomed by your professional safari guide from Imara Africa Safaris, followed by a short safari briefing before starting the journey to Amboseli National Park.
The road distance from Nairobi to Amboseli is approximately 225 to 240 km, depending on the route used and the location of your lodge or camp. The drive normally takes about 4 to 5 hours, depending on traffic, road conditions, and stops along the way. You will travel through southern Kenya, passing small towns, open landscapes, and countryside scenery as you head toward one of Kenya’s most scenic national parks.
On arrival in Amboseli, you will check in at your lodge or camp and enjoy lunch. After some time to relax, you will proceed for your first evening game drive in Amboseli National Park. This is a beautiful introduction to the park, with chances to see elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, antelopes, and different bird species. On clear days, you may also enjoy the famous view of Mount Kilimanjaro rising behind the plains.
After the evening game drive, you will return to your lodge or camp for dinner, relaxation, and overnight stay in Amboseli.
