After breakfast, you will be picked up from your city hotel in Nairobi or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and travel by road to Amboseli National Park. Renowned for its stunning scenery, Amboseli features a dramatic backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s largest free-standing mountain at 19,340 feet. The park is also famous for its large herds of elephants, thanks in part to the work of Dr. Cynthia Moss. Born in the USA, Dr. Moss moved to Africa in 1968 and has dedicated her career to studying the distribution, demography, population dynamics, social organization, and behavior of Amboseli’s elephants....
Upon arrival at your lodge or camp, which offers magnificent views of both the wilderness and Mount Kilimanjaro, you’ll have time for lunch before embarking on an afternoon game drive. During this drive, you may encounter a variety of wildlife including elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, gazelles, baboons, zebras, and cheetahs. Depending on the water levels of Lake Amboseli, you might also have the chance to see flamingos and witness a mini-migration of wildebeest, zebras, and elephants

Day 2
Amboseli National Park
The following day promises to be a highlight as you explore the diverse terrains of Amboseli National Park, including seasonal lakes, marshlands, open plains, lava-strewn thorn bushes, and acacia woodlands. Your private, professional Driver/Guide will expertly position the safari jeep for that perfect “National Geographic shot”.
Your adventure will also include a visit to a local village, where you’ll meet Kenya’s nomadic and warrior-like people who have preserved much of their traditional way of life despite modern pressures. A guided tour led by the chief’s son will provide insight into village life. He will show you his mother’s house and introduce you to the village medicine man, who might even offer some traditional remedies....
These remedies often involve roots and plants used for various purposes such as dental hygiene, treating malaria, wound care, and addressing issues like venomous animal bites, fever, libido, and gastrointestinal disorders.
You’ll also see a demonstration of traditional fire-making techniques using two sticks and have the opportunity to visit the village “market,” where you can shop for handmade crafts if you wish (purchasing is not obligatory). The day will conclude with an afternoon game drive, ensuring that your experience is both immersive and unforgettable.
