Two days of scenic road travel, private wildlife drives and luxury accommodation in Amboseli National Park.

Travel from Nairobi into the heart of elephant country on this private 2-day luxury Amboseli road safari. The drive introduces you to Kenya’s changing scenery as busy urban surroundings gradually give way to small towns, open countryside and the expansive plains near Amboseli. After arriving at your selected luxury lodge or tented camp, you will explore the national park during an afternoon game drive and return the following morning for another wildlife experience. Our guide will search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, lions, cheetahs and abundant birdlife. When weather conditions are clear, Mount Kilimanjaro may provide a spectacular background to the park’s wildlife and landscapes.
