3-Day Amboseli Safari on a Budget

Pick up from Nairobi. Depart for Amboseli National Park and arrive in time for a relaxed lunch afterward. Head for your first game drive during the safari, which will occur in the afternoon between 4:00pm and 6:30pm. During this game drive, you will get the final catch of animals while they are out of their hides to get their last meal of the day and sunbathing, especially the reptiles. Kobs and other animals that graze will be assembled for their night’s rest.

Amboseli National Park is also famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. The park also has views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world. In the evening, you will have dinner and spend the night at your lodge.

You will have an early morning game drive between 6:00am and 9:00am to catch up with the African sunrise. A morning game drive is always the most rewarding since you will find that most animals are very active and fresh, looking for food for the day in the open savannah grassland. Return to your lodge for breakfast. Head for a day’s game with a packed picnic lunch. During the day, when the sun gets hot, most of the animals gather near the river banks to quench their thirst and cool themselves down, while others, like the big cats, are rarely spotted, but when the sun goes down, some animals will show up. Amboseli has all members of the Big Five, which are found here all year round. The park also has a variety of bird species, with 470 species recorded, many of which are migrants, with almost 60 species being raptors. Your dinner and overnight stay are at the lodge.

You will have breakfast. Depart for Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon.
