Nairobi to Amboseli NP
As you leave Nairobi, the city’s bustle fades into the wide, open promise of the savannah. By late morning, Amboseli welcomes you—golden light shimmering across its dusty plains, the air fragrant with acacia and adventure. Afternoon brings your first game drive: elephants moving silently in family groups, their presence grounding and awe-inspiring. Evening wraps you in warmth and quiet—your first night under African stars, feeling both small and infinite.
