Jambo!  Welcome to Kenya.  This 3-day Amboseli Safari by Plane transports our guests into the heart of Kenya’s big game country.  Amboseli National Park lies in the shadow of Africa’s highest peak: Mount Kilimanjaro.  Renowned for its high elephant population, the park is also home to a healthy population of predators and plains game.  By flying to and from the park, your time on safari is optimised, giving you more time to relax and enjoy the wildlife.

For the duration of your Amboseli adventure, you will enjoy the company of one of Africa Flash McTours’ guides.  A friendly professional, they will ensure a seamless travel experience and enlighten you about the area’s wildlife and local culture.  Game drives are conducted in custom-built safari vehicles, fully equipped for your comfort and safety.  At the end of your safari, you’ll be whisked back to your point of origin and the next leg of your travels.

Itinerary

Nairobi - Amboseli National Park by Plane

(45 minutes Flight)

Your personal Africa Flash McTours guide will meet you at your hotel in the morning.  Once acquainted, you will be escorted to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport in time for a direct flight to Amboseli National Park.  After roughly 40 minutes, you’ll descend alongside Mt Kilimanjaro, touching down at an airstrip within the national park.  A vehicle awaits to transport you to your appointed lodgings for the next two nights.  There is an excellent chance that you will see wildlife en route to your camp.  On arrival, you will be shown your accommodation, after which lunch is served.  

Amboseli National Park covers 392 square kilometres (151 sq. mi) and forms part of a greater ecosystem that extends across the nearby Kenya-Tanzania border.  Boasting some impressive ‘tuskers’ (elephant bulls with unusually large tusks), the park is home to three members of the Big 5, with rhinos absent and leopards only seen on rare occasions.  The park has a good population of large predators.  Lions and spotted hyenas are frequently seen throughout, while cheetahs are normally seen in the park’s open grasslands.  General game species are well represented.  Among them, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and warthogs are common, interspersed with various antelope species.

You’ll enjoy an afternoon game drive before returning to camp for dinner and a comfortable night’s rest.

Full day in Amboseli National Park

Generally speaking, wildlife is most active when it is relatively cool.  Accordingly, you will wake up at dawn and set off on a full-day game drive after breakfast.  Your guide is well-versed in the ways of the African bush.  While looking for wildlife, he may stop to point out various plants that are still used in traditional medicine.  Or, he might pause to show you how to identify the tracks of various species of game.  In the process, you’ll get to appreciate Nature’s complexity and that there is so much more to game viewing than the Big 5.

However, for many, the chance to see these species, especially lions, is in high demand.  Our guides are in radio contact with other game drives, and information about sightings is shared.  As such, should lions or other interesting sightings be reported, they will do their best to let you share the excitement firsthand.

At lunchtime, your guide will stop at a scenic picnic spot where you can enjoy some food while stretching your legs.

Returning to your vehicle, you might be interested to learn more about the park’s birdlife.  For a relatively small park, Amboseli boasts an excellent variety of birds (about 500), each inhabiting their preferred habitats.  In particular, the Enkongo Narok Swamp is frequented by impressive flocks of greater and lesser flamingos. 

As dusk approaches, you’ll return to camp for dinner and bed.

Amboseli National Park - Nairobi by Plane

(45 minutes Flight)

Rising early once again, breakfast will be served before you depart on the final game drive of your visit.  This is a great opportunity to see if you can capture a few iconic images of your stay in Amboseli.  Most sought after is a picture of a herd of elephants ambling through the grass with the backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro.  Or, keep a lookout for a giraffe browsing from a flat-topped acacia tree, against the warm light of the rising sun.

All too soon, your time at Amboseli will come to an end.  Invigorated by all you’ve seen, you’ll board your return flight to Nairobi.  Once there, it’s time for you to bid farewell to your Africa Flash McTours guide and head on to your next destination.  We hope that, having tasted the magic of Africa’s wildlife, scenery and people, it won’t be long before we see you again.
