Highly recommended! ★★★★★ - This 2 day 1 night Amboseli Safari from Nairobi was the most memorable part of my trip to Kenya. After entering the park on the first day, the huge elephant herd and the snowy Mount Kilimanjaro in the background - the view is like a dream! The guide (James was ours) was very knowledgeable and helpful - the lion, the cheetah, the giraffe, the hippo all showed up. The car was comfortable, the food was good (especially the bush breakfasts), and the sound of the jungle at night while spending the night at the lodge made me feel like I was in Africa. Everything was on time and there was no charge.Perfect for those who want the best safari in the shortest time.

Beautiful experience of Amboseli in short time - The 2-day/1-night Amboseli Safari from Nairobi was a fantastic experience for us. Seeing the flock of elephants in front of Kilimanjaro was the most beautiful moment. The guide was very helpful and handled game run very well. Accommodation and food were perfect. This is an ideal safari for a short period.

The silence of the night and the magic of the morning - When I left Nairobi, I could not have imagined that a night safari could be such an immersive experience. Our private guide conducted the entire journey in a very calm and planned manner from the beginning. After entering the Amboseli National Park the slow movement of the elephants in the evening light and the cloud covered Mt. Kilimanjaro - This scene still floats in the eye. The silence of the forest while staying in the lodge at night, the sound of the animals sometimes - all together a different feeling. I went out on a game drive in the morning and saw the giraffe and wildebeest up close. There were no extra costs or worries as everything was included in the package. Coming so close to nature in such a short time is truly a rare experience.

Comfort, Wildlife & Views—Amboseli Safari Done Right ✅💯 - Upon landing in Nairobi, I wanted to experience the real Kenya in a short time, and this 2-day Amboseli Safari gave me just that opportunity. Our private guide pickup from the hotel, so the tour starts without any problems. Shortly after entering Amboseli National Park, I saw a large group of elephants, and standing behind the snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro - in a word, an iconic sight. During the game drive, the lion, giraffe, wildebeest and hippo were seen from close. Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. All in all, this is a great package for those who want the perfect safari even if they have less time.

The best moments of Amboseli in 2 days - We joined this 2-day, 1-night Amboseli Safari directly with a flight from Nairobi, and it has given us a lot more than we expected. On the very first day, we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras and innumerable birds. I could also see the hunting scenes of lions and deer from a distance. At night the hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The next morning, out on a sunrise game drive, when a herd of elephants appeared behind Kilimanjaro in the sunlight - that would be the best moment of our trip. This tour offers a variety of options according to the budget, which is suitable for everyone. A perfect combination of nature, wildlife and comfort.

Short but Unforgettable – 2 Days Amboseli Safari Experience - Our little 2-day Amboseli Safari was absolutely amazing. From the beginning of the booking, Alfred gave all the information very clearly, answered all our questions, and made the travel plan very easy. Arriving at Amboseli National Park, Mt. Watching the herd of elephants in the backdrop of Kilimanjaro was a unique experience. James was very knowledgeable and patient. He helped us find the lion, the cheetah, the giraffe, and the hippo. Accommodation was comfortable, and the food was good. All in all, our trip was smooth and memorable because of Alfred and James.

Behind Mt. Kilimanjaro is the kingdom of elephants! - As soon as you enter Amboseli National Park, I was fascinated by the views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. When the herd of elephants was coming from behind the mountain, I just looked surprised. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even after only 2 days of travel, I could see lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and even hippos. We chose a mid-range lodge - clean and comfortable environment with great food. The whole trip was uninterrupted due to the fast travel and good roads from Nairobi.

Where every moment becomes memorable.. - The 2-day 1-night Amboseli safari from Nairobi was truly a memorable experience. Getting so close to nature while being away from the hustle and bustle of the city was a unique experience. Our driver and guide were very friendly and experienced. He took us to the right places at the right time so that we could see elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, and even wildebeests up close. The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro covered in clouds was truly unforgettable! The most amazing moment was when we saw a large group of elephants as the sun rose, and behind them stood a huge. We stayed in a mid-budget lodge, which was located inside the park. From the lodge, we could see the animals roaming the open plains right from the windows. The food was delicious, and the service was simply excellent. Even though this was a short safari, the experience will be one of the best memories of our lives. For those who are short on time but want to see nature up close, this is a perfect tour. Many thanks to the Bencia team.

Horrific Experience!!!!!!! - Very unreliable!!! Unreliable vehicle that broke down in the safari leaving us stranded there after dark for hours. Luckily the Kibo lodge came to rescue us. That was not even the worst part. The following day Joseph asked another guide to take us to the safari which was amazing. Joseph told us to be back by 11:00 so he could take us back to Nairobi. Joesph never came back to pick us up leaving us stranded 5 hours away from Nairobi. No Ubers were to be found. We sat at Kibo for 8 hours, trying to find someone to take us back to Nairobi. We called the owner who was rude and unwilling to help get us a ride back to Nairobi. Kibo camp tried calling someone to take us back with but struggled to locate someone. We are still stranded. As I’m writing this review. 8 hours later. We have one day left in Africa and it has been ruined by this company. My wife and I are devastated. Do not use this company.

Not provided what we paid for, abandoned to find own transportation, unsafe, unreliable vehicle. - Horrible doesn’t describe it. Day one car broke down in National park (not controllable) and we were stuck there in the dark beyond closing time with zero communication until a “rescue” vehicle came to retrieve us, many hours wasted and stressful. Morning of day two we were told departing to return to Nairobi at 11am. At 5pm still sitting in hotel lobby, NO transportation from hotel to Nairobi, no explanation. We have called all the numbers, texted all the contacts, used the help chat, had the hotel call the driver, manager, contact numbers, we were told “20 minutes” numerous times between 11am and 4pm and hung up on just as many times. Finally we have managed to find a driver to pay (out of pocket) to take us back to Nairobi as our paid for tour has abandoned us. I strongly recommend you consider ALL other options before choosing this tour provider. If something goes awry you will be abandoned and on your own - it’s NOT easy to find your own transport from here to Nairobi and it’s EXPENSIVE. This was like throwing money away! Bright light to this tour is the lodge Kibo. So friendly, beautiful place, professional, spent all day trying to help us - gave us lunch and used their phone MANY times to make calls. Recommend staying at this lodge do not at all recommend the tour provider. If there was a zombie apocalypse and my choice was be eaten by a zombie or use this provider again - I choose the zombie - no hesitation.
