Day 3: Nairobi to Amboseli
This morning depart on your safari adventure. Drive to Amboseli National Park nestled at the foothills of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Amboseli is a top destination in Kenya for wildlife. Indeed, one of the classic images of East Africa is that of a herd of elephant strolling across the plains with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro in the background. It is to catch this sight that people flood to Amboseli National Park. While Kilimanjaro is actually across the border in Tanzania, Amboseli has a perfect view of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, rising an impressive 5895 metres above the plains.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Approximate driving time: 5 hours

Day 5: Amboseli to Tsavo West
The best time to view the majestic mountain is at dawn, when the clouds lift and the light is clear and soft.
