Welcome the year on a 3-day premium Amboseli New Year savannah escape with private drives, luxury lodging and elephant encounters.
Our 3-Day Premium Amboseli New Year Savannah Escape gives couples, families and friends an unforgettable way to close one year or begin the next in Kenyaβs famous elephant country. Starting from Nairobi, you will travel about 215 kilometres in a private safari vehicle, with the transfer normally taking four to five hours depending on festive traffic and scheduled stops. After arriving at your premium lodge or luxury camp, you will enjoy lunch and an afternoon wildlife drive. The second day offers a full-day Amboseli safari with a picnic lunch, while the final morning provides another opportunity to search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, predators and birds before returning to Nairobi. Guests travelling on December 31 may enjoy a special dinner, music, decorations or a countdown when provided by the selected lodge. Early booking is essential because premium rooms, festive programmes and private vehicles are limited.
