3 Days, 2 Nights Amboseli Private Safari from Nairobi

Step into a world where elephants stroll across golden savannahs, and Mount Kilimanjaro rises like a dream on the horizon. A private Amboseli safari is more than a getaway; it’s a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur, curated just for you.

Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, the Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust”, and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. Nature lovers can explore five different habitats here, ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulfur springs, the savannah, and woodlands. They can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.
