Amboseli
National Park Safari
Distance
from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park: 265kms
/ 159miles. (Time 4 ½ hours by road).
Our
adventures in the bush begin with spectacular Amboseli
National Park. Romantically situated in the foothills
of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is famous for its tremendous
variety of big game. After lunch at our lodge we are
ready for an afternoon game drive. Our delightful
lodge is perfectly located in the very centre of the
reserve.
Amboseli
is an excellent place to view a multitude of wildlife,
including everything from Lions, Cheetah to Wildebeest
to Giraffes to Baboons. Optional visit to a Maasai
village is available as this is the home of the Maasai
people. Here you learn about their tribal social systems,
customs and the place of the Maasai in today’s
Africa. The residents live in their Manyatta, or village,
much as they have for centuries and a visit gives
you the opportunity to see the interior of these mud-hut
homes, spotless and unadorned, contrasted with the
Maasai themselves, bedecked with brilliantly colored
beads and cloths.
