Amboseli National Park Safari 2 Days 1 Night Tour

Our 2 Day 1 Night Amboseli National Park Safari from Nairobi by road is an affordable Safari that offers a short, hassle-free way to experience Kenya’s incredible wildlife.  You get to explore Amboseli National Park with a professional guide who collects you and drops you off in Nairobi.

Sit back, enjoy Big Four game drives in a customized safari vehicle, and spend the night inside Amboseli National Park. An exciting, no-fuss Kenya African wildlife adventure located about a 4.5-hour drive (240 km or 150 miles) southeast of Nairobi.

This budget-friendly Amboseli National Park Safari kicks off in Nairobi, where you are collected from your accommodation at about 0800 hours.

Leaving Nairobi (or “The Green City in the Sun” as the locals call it), we head straight to Amboseli National Park, a 4.5-hour drive away.  Arriving at the eastern gate (Iremito gate) of Amboseli National  Park, we check in and take a short break before heading into the bush.

Driving through Amboseli National Park, we scan the game-rich plains and dense thickets for wild animals and birds. This is the best place to see elephants in Kenya, home to almost 1000 of these pachyderms. 

Amboseli hosts one of Africa’s highest concentrations of elephants, making it a top elephant hotspot.  Elephants are not the only Big Five animals found here; however, four of the Big Five iconic species inhabit Amboseli.

Lion, and buffalo, can all be sighted on game drives here, and if you’re very lucky, leopard too. In addition to Africa’s Big Four, there are various antelopes (kudu, bushbuck, red hartebeest, etc), zebras, hyenas, jackals, and more in Amboseli National Park.

We continue our game drive, stopping at swamps along the way to see animals gathering to drink and bathe. We arrive at our lodge/camp inside Amboseli National Park just before lunchtime and check into our accommodation.

After lunch at the lodge/camp, we embark on an exciting afternoon game drive in the wildlife haven of Amboseli. Your guide is happy to tell you more about the animals, plants, birds, and other creatures of Amboseli Park as you drive, giving you insight into this unique ecosystem and its wild inhabitants.

In the early evening, we return to the camp/lodge and enjoy dinner. Later retire to your room/tent. Listen out for the calls of the black-backed jackal, lion, and hyena as you fall asleep tonight.

On day 2 of our Amboseli Safari, we wake up bright and early and start the day with coffee or tea and a light snack of rusks (traditional tea biscuits). Then we venture back out into the surrounding wilderness in our customized safari vehicle.

Mornings are a brilliant time for game viewing and bird watching because many creatures are at their most active in the early hours of the day, especially the predators. Our morning of wildlife adventures brings us back to the camp/lodge for breakfast.

Then we check out and hop back into our safari vehicle for one last game drive as we head out of the national park. Making our way through Amboseli, we keep an eye out for animals large and small, from towering elephants to little flightless dung beetles.

Exiting Amboseli via the Eastern gate, we drive back to Nairobi. Back in the city, you are dropped off at your accommodation, bringing your short 2-day Amboseli Safari to an end.
