 PT 32 - Amboseli Classic  I  

Day 1  Amboseli

 

Be ready for collection from your hotel from 6.30 a.m.

 

You depart from the civil aviation airport (Wilson) and fly for just over 30 minutes across the Athi plains and on towards Mt. Kilimanjaro. You land at the airstrip in the centre of the park, often with animals close by, and game drive on your way Tortillis Camp, your lodge for your overnight visit.

 

Amboseli National Park is a seasonal swamp; during the wet season the waters spill over a large area, attracting many different animals and a great variety of birds.    During the dry weather the swamp dries up and the landscape is alive with swirling 'dust devils' and a shimmering mirage. The Park is always dominated by the huge bulk of Mt. Kilimanjaro, at 5895 metres, the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain generally hides its ice cap shyly behind clouds during the day, but the sheer beauty of the mountain in the early morning or late evening is an unforgettable sight.

 

After lunch there is time to relax and then an evening game drive, returning to Tortilis Camp as the sun goes down.

 

Day 2 Amboseli

Full day at Amboseli with morning and afternoon game drives. Lunch dinner and overnight at the Tortillis Camp

 

 

Day 3 Nairobi

An early morning call and time to watch the birds and view the mountain before breakfast and you game drive across to the airstrip to connect with your return scheduled flight to Nairobi.

 

            This safari can be extended on request by extra nights.

            Each night includes full board accommodation over 24 hours and two game drives
