  1. Day 1

    Nairobi

    You'll be met at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to your hotel in Nairobi. Spend the rest of the day settling in and resting after your flight. It's a straightforward arrival day to get acclimated to the city before heading out on safari.

  2. Day 2

    Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

    This morning you'll be transferred from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park, which takes several hours by road. You'll arrive in time for lunch at your lodge, then head out on your first game drive. The park sits right at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, and you'll likely spot large herds of elephants and other wildlife.

    Great tour - not only did we have a fantastic time on Safari and get to see the Big 5 but our cook (Malinga), driver (Steve) and guide (Leah) were fantastic. They went over and beyond to help us see so many animals, were patient when we had any issues, and ensured I could eat all the meals (I can't have dairy or gluten). All in all a great trip for the cost. Although be warned this is 100% a rough and tough camping trip - expect zero luxury!

    This was a MEMORABLE trip! All 3 staff, Heston, Westinghouse and Alois, were 5 star in every way. I'm my opinion, a better more upscale hotel would be a good start to thus trip. I found the Kenya Comfort Hotel to be seriously lacking. For the amazing day at Maasi Mara, please include the price of the jeep in the tour. There is no way we could have seen what we saw if we had been in the big bus. Please also upgrade the bus to include an electronic ice chest. We all purchased beverages that needed to be chilled, and ice was almost impossible to find. Finally, the tents are old, heavy and difficult to assemble. Please consider a tent upgrade for the future.
