Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli – Luxury Afternoon Photography Drive

Nairobi to Amboseli – Luxury Afternoon Photography Drive

Our guide will collect you from your Nairobi hotel, residence or agreed meeting point at approximately 6:30 a.m. After a short safari briefing and careful loading of your camera equipment, you will begin the road journey of approximately 230–250 kilometres to Amboseli National Park. The drive normally takes four and a half to five and a half hours, depending on traffic and road conditions, with a scheduled comfort stop along the way. You will arrive at your luxury lodge or tented camp around lunchtime, complete check-in and enjoy lunch before relaxing. At approximately 3:30 p.m., you will enter the park for an afternoon photography game drive. Our guide will explore open plains, acacia woodland and wetland areas while searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes and predators. The softer evening light may provide beautiful photography conditions before you return to the lodge at around 6:30 p.m. for dinner and overnight.
