3 Days in Amboseli National Park, incl. Nairobi and Mount Kilimanjaro Views
Remarkable wildlife viewing across Amboseli's elephant-rich plains and acacia forests spans three days. Four game drives showcase wildlife near Mount Kilimanjaro. Kibo Safari Camp serves as base for dawn and dusk safari experiences.
- Day 1
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Plan to leave Nairobi by 7 AM to avoid traffic. The drive to Amboseli takes 4-5 hours on the Mombasa Road. Road conditions get better after Machakos but watch for wildlife near the park entrance. If you get carsick bring medication since the final stretch has rough patches. You'll arrive for lunch at camp before heading out for an afternoon game drive when animals are most active in the cooler hours.
- Day 2
Full Day in Amboseli
Get up before sunrise (around 6:30 AM) to see Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds appear. Pack warm clothes since temperatures can drop to 12°C (54°F). The marsh areas are perfect spots to watch elephants during their morning drink. Rest at camp during the hot midday hours. In the afternoon visit the western swamps where large elephant herds gather. The golden hour brings perfect photo opportunities with Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak in the background.
- Day 3
Final Game Drive and Return to Nairobi
Make the most of your last morning with an early game drive. Visit Observation Hill for sweeping views of the park and spot hippos in the swamps below. Wear light clothing as temperatures climb quickly. Start your drive back to Nairobi by mid-morning to beat afternoon city traffic.
3 Days in Kenya, incl. Nairobi and Amboseli National Park
Dawn and dusk game drives reveal massive elephant herds and predators over three action-packed days. Observation Hill offers panoramic views while hippos bathe in Kilimanjaro-fed swamps.
- Day 1
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Your safari begins with an 8:00 AM briefing in Nairobi. The 5-hour drive to Amboseli through Kimana gate requires water and snacks for the journey. One visitor shared: "The ride was smooth and the adventure began the moment we entered the park." Remember to pack layers of clothing. Amboseli mornings can be cool but temperatures climb significantly by afternoon.
- Day 2
Full Day in Amboseli
Get up early to catch the wildlife at their most active. Morning drives give you the best views of Kilimanjaro before cloud cover sets in. The park's massive elephant herds often gather near the swamps. Amboseli supports over 1,000 elephants, including some of Africa's largest. Stop for a picnic lunch under acacia trees before heading out for afternoon wildlife spotting. Look for lions, buffalo and hippos in the swamps. Want the perfect Kilimanjaro photo? Visit Observation Hill in late afternoon when lighting conditions are best.
- Day 3
Amboseli to Nairobi
After breakfast take one last morning game drive before the 5-hour return to Nairobi. You should reach the city around lunch. If you have a flight that day book it for evening to account for traffic delays. The direct route into Nairobi often backs up.
3 Day Safari Kenya Amboseli
Over 1,000 elephants roam within view of Oltukai Lodge's prime location during this three-day wildlife adventure. Dawn and dusk game drives plus visits to Observation Hill create optimal viewing opportunities in Amboseli's varied landscapes.

Sammy didn’t just show us the migration—he explained its importance to the ecosystem. Watching zebras mix with wildebeests while predators stalked nearby was fascinating. The meals were wholesome, transport sturdy, and accommodations relaxing after long days. An unforgettable balance of education, excitement, and incredible value for money.
