Additional Information

Amboseli National Park stands out as a premier location for observing some of Africa’s most magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the park offers secure and scenic game drives in specialized safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs. Additionally, visitors can savor their midday meal at the Oltukai Lodge.
This park is renowned globally for its vast numbers of African elephants, often sighted in groups exceeding 100 members. Especially noteworthy are the massive tusks of the park’s adult male elephants, some of the most impressive in the world. The park also hosts bountiful numbers of buffalo, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, impalas, and warthogs. With such diverse herbivore species, it’s no surprise that Amboseli is also a haven for predatory animals. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and serval cats are among the carnivores that inhabit the ecosystem, making it a hot spot for wildlife enthusiasts.

Amboseli whirlwind - The trip to amboseli made for a really long day from Nairobi. However, it was well worth it for the beautiful scenery and wildlife that we were able to see. Douglas and Calvin were great guides and were able to find lots of game. I recommend this trip highly to anyone who wants to see Amboseli on a day trip.

Collect all large mammals just in one day, one place - Amboseli - It was definitely a good (and lucky) choice to go Amboseli. In just one day, we saw almost all large mammal species, as well as large populations of waterbirds. It is also crucial to have a good guide, who can answer the simple question one hundred times: "what is this".

He has experience touring Amboseli national park as well as the park history and animals. He's so knowledgeable of the animals and plants.

Day trip to amboseli. Wow! - Our trip was unforgettable and truly a day we will cherish. Douglas our guide was truly exceptional in his vast experience and attention to detail. The overall experience was great. The day trip was probably just enough for us since we had done masai Mara and Douglas really exceeded our expectations. Amboseli had a nice view of the kilimanjaro and as well as the wildlife. Perfect safari by definition.
