Celebrate on a 3-day premium Amboseli Christmas wildlife retreat with private game drives, festive luxury lodging and elephant encounters.
Our 3-Day Premium Amboseli Christmas Wildlife Retreat offers couples, families and friends a memorable festive escape in southern Kenya. The private road journey from Nairobi covers about 215 kilometres and normally takes four to five hours, although Christmas traffic may influence the schedule. After arriving at your premium lodge or luxury camp, you will enjoy lunch and the property’s festive atmosphere before an afternoon game drive. The second day includes a full-day Amboseli safari with a picnic lunch, providing time to search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, predators and birds. Your final morning offers another wildlife drive before breakfast and the return to Nairobi. Christmas decorations, special meals, music, children’s activities or entertainment depend on the confirmed lodge programme. Premium accommodation and private vehicles are in high demand during the festive season, so early reservation is strongly recommended.
