About this trip

 Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, the Amboseli National Parks 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 sulphur springs, the savannah and woodlands.  They can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.

The tour Guide, Benjamin, was excellent. He was right on time to pick us up from our hotel at 5am. He explained the trip itinerary, and got us to the park gate by 8:25am after a brief stop for breakfast. He helped us spot animals, particularly lions-he was so good at seeing them with the naked eye in the brush, even when we had trouble using binoculars (LOL). He was very patient till we saw them, lending us his more powerful binoculars if necessary. We sow pairs of lions in 3-4 different settings; herds of elephants, a herd of buffalo, giraffes, several zebras, a hippo, monkeys, and several antelopes/gazelles. We stopped for lunch at an elephant watering hole where we ate while watching the elephants; we finally left the park at 3pm, and got back to our hotel at about 7. We had an enjoyable safari. we highly recommend Benjamin.
