Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. After a brief introduction by your professional driver-guide, depart for Amboseli National Park, driving through open countryside and small market towns along the way. The journey takes 4.5 hours. On arrival at Amboseli, proceed to Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge for check-in and lunch. The lodge is uniquely positioned to offer sweeping views across the plains toward Mount Kilimanjaro. After lunch and time to settle in, head out for your first afternoon game drive. This is an excellent introduction to Amboseli’s landscapes, with chances to see elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and a wide variety of birdlife, especially around the swamp areas. Return to the lodge in the early evening for dinner and overnight.

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Wake up early for a morning breakfast, then head out with packed lunch for a full day game drive. Starting your game drive early ensures that you witness wildlife when they are most active and Mount Kilimanjaro is often clearly visible before cloud cover builds up. This is the best time for photography and close encounters with Amboseli’s famous elephant herds. You will enjoy your lunch at a designated place in Amboseli national park with sounds of the nature surrounding you. Later, continue with your game drive, focusing on the permanent swamps fed by underground springs from Mount Kilimanjaro. These areas attract elephants, hippos, and numerous bird species throughout the year. Return to the lodge by sunset for dinner and overnight.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

After breakfast, set out for a morning game drive exploring different sections of the park, including open plains and seasonal lake beds where wildlife often gathers. Return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation time. In the afternoon, enjoy your final game drive, taking advantage of the golden light as the sun sets behind the park’s iconic scenery. This evening offers a perfect moment to reflect on the safari experience while enjoying dinner at the lodge and the sounds of the African wilderness.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
