3 Days, 2 Nights Oltukai Lodge Amboseli Safari Package

Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Your safari begins with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or the airport, followed by a scenic drive south toward Amboseli National Park. As you travel through Maasai country, you’ll enjoy views of open plains and distant hills, with Mount Kilimanjaro gradually coming into sight on clear days. You’ll arrive in Amboseli late morning and proceed on a game drive en route to your lodge or tented camp. After check-in and lunch, you’ll have time to relax before heading out for an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is renowned for its large herds of elephants, often seen moving gracefully across the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop. You may also spot lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and a wide variety of birdlife. As the sun sets, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Amboseli National Park - Full Day

After an early breakfast, you’ll head out for a morning game drive when wildlife is most active, and the lighting is ideal for photography. This is the best time to capture iconic views of elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as spot predators returning from a night hunt. You’ll explore different areas of the park, including swamps fed by underground springs from the mountain, which attract elephants, hippos, and numerous bird species year-round. You’ll return to the lodge for lunch and some leisure time, enjoying the views or relaxing at the camp. In the afternoon, you’ll head out again for another game drive, allowing you to experience Amboseli’s changing landscapes and wildlife behaviour as the day cools. You’ll return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight, with the sounds of the African wilderness around you.

Day 3: Amboseli Back to Nairobi

After breakfast, you’ll check out of your lodge and enjoy a final morning game drive as you exit Amboseli National Park, offering one last opportunity to spot elephants, plains game, and predators against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Later in the morning, you’ll visit a traditional Maasai village (included in the package) where you’ll be welcomed by the local community and learn about their rich culture, customs, and way of life. The visit includes insights into traditional homesteads, dances, and daily activities, as well as an opportunity to interact with the Maasai people and purchase handcrafted souvenirs directly from the artisans. After the visit, you’ll begin the drive back to Nairobi, stopping for lunch along the way, and arrive in the late afternoon or early evening for drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
