2 Days Amboseli Park Kenya safari: elephnats on parade with backfdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro
We Guarantee Sightings of the Big Tuskers
African Elephant Safari Tour
Starting from/returning to Nairobi area hotels, airport, or location of your choice.
We’ll pick you up in style – your own private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.
This safari features two big attractions – Mighty Mt. Kilimanjaro and immense herds of free-ranging elephants. Amboseli National Park sits at the base of Africa’s tallest peak and harbors an incredible population of free-ranging elephants – some say the best viewing in the world of these awesome pachyderms.
That’s why we can guarantee you’ll see parades of elephants on your two-day journey to the park. Imagine setting up your camera to capture all this grand wildlife marching before you, with the imposing form of Kilimanjaro framing the background. You can’t take a bad picture at Amboseli.
What’s Cool about Amboseli?
This popular park is on the smaller side and the vegetation is sparse – but that only increases your odds of spotting lots of wildlife. Most of Africa’s “Big Five” are found here – lion, elephant, buffalo, and leopard. And you may also spot zebra, gazelle, cheetah, and more on your game drives.
There’s also space and time here to meet the local community with an optional excursion to the nearby Masai village. Just ask your guide and he’ll arrange it.

Depending on your choice of accommodation you can enjoy extra activities like guided walks, bush dinners, evening bonfires, babysitting, children’s pool, night game drives, and evening sundowners all in sight of towering Kilimanjaro.

Day 1
Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
265km, approx. 4hrs
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
7:30 am. Your driver/guide will pick you up for the early morning drive to the park. Along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway view the changing light as the sun rises above the passing fields. You may see Maasai herders wrapped in their colorful shukas.
Look for the unmistakable image of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance, guiding you to Amboseli Park. Arriving in time for lunch, you can freshen up at your Safari lodge or tented camp.
Then we’ll venture out and see the park’s abundant families of elephants marching before the scenic backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We’ll also be tracking for lion, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, ostrich, and many other park inhabitants.
You’ll spend the night at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp.
Day 2
265km, approx. 4hrs
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Let’s get up early for a pre-breakfast game drive. If it’s clear, we might even see the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro. This is a wonderful time to enjoy the morning colors over the park as the first wildlife peaks out from the shelter of the night.
Then we’ll dig into breakfast, taking in Amboseli’s wild ambiance before heading out for a mid-morning game drive.
Besides spotting the big game, we’ll also be looking for smaller park inhabitants such as hyena, fox, jackal, monkey, and baboon.
For a different kind of Amboseli experience, you can participate in an optional cultural meet with the local Maasai people at their village. Your guide can easily arrange this.
Lunch is next and then a final game drive as we exit the park.
We should have you back in Nairobi in the late afternoon, bringing you to the drop-off destination of your choice.
You’ve seen a lot of wildlife and parkland in just two active days. We at Africa Kenya Safaris thank you for adventuring out with us. Please let us know when we can set up your next adventure
