Day by day
Day 1 - Drive from Nairobi to Amboseli National ParkSentrim Amboseli Lodge
At 07:00, meet up with our hospitality representative and your dedicated safari driver-guide at your Nairobi hotel lobby or the airport. After introductions and a pre-safari briefing, depart and drive to Amboseli National Park, arriving in the early afternoon for check-in and lunch at your camp.
You have leisure time to relax and soak in magnificent views of the park from your room veranda or lounge, or enjoy a swim in the camp’s swimming pool.
Later, embark on an afternoon game-viewing drive in the park. Amboseli is one of Kenya's most popular safari destinations and offers spectacular views of the world's highest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.
Elephants are a dominant presence in Amboseli; researchers track them almost constantly, which is why they have largely escaped the ravages of 1980s poaching. Here, you are able to spot some of the older “tuskers” lumbering almost delicately before the backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
