Unforgettable Day Adventure in Amboseli - I did the day tour to Amboseli from Nairobi and wow, it was totally worth the early wake-up. The drive was long (like 4 hours each way 😅) but honestly once we started seeing the elephants everywhere I forgot I was tired. This park is just incredible – huge open views and soooo many animals! We saw big elephant families up close, zebras, giraffes, hippos and even a lion lazing under a tree, it took us a minute to spot him lol. Mount Kilimanjaro was playing hide and seek with the clouds most of the day but we did get a few really nice clear moments for photos. Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, he made the whole trip fun and kept trying to find the best spots for us. lunch was decent (nothing fancy) and the safari vehicle was comfortable enough although a bit bumpy in some areas but hey, that’s safari life right? If you only have one day to do a safari while in Nairobi, I definitely recommend Amboseli. It’s a looong day, but such a beautiful one. I would do it again… maybe next time I’ll stay a night so I can sleep in 😂

one day in amboseli – calm views & big elephants - we did a day trip to amboseli from nairobi. long drive in the morning but totally worth it. the first thing we saw was the big open land and mt kilimanjaro behind the clouds… felt peaceful.elephants were the highlight. so many of them walking slowly in groups. one came really close to the road and we all went quiet for a moment. also saw zebras, giraffes and some birds i don’t even know the names 😅 our guide was relaxed, drove smooth and stopped whenever we wanted a picture. no rush, no pressure. lunch was simple but okay. honestly the best part was just sitting in the jeep, windows open, wind coming in and watching animals move around. if you have one spare day in nairobi and want something calm and natural, amboseli day tour is really nice. came back tired but happy.

Amboseli safari - We had Samwell as guide for our safari, let me just say the day started off with a downpour! The weather was torrential for most of the morning before letting up to blue sky and beautiful weather. This however did not put the three of us off and with Samwell’s expertise and knowledge of all things animal and bird we had an absolutely fantastic trip! We got communicated with the night before via watts app, confirming we would be picked up and who our driver was. The drive to Amboseli is approximately 4 hours and with an early start, when you are half way there you are given the opportunity for breakfast and the toilets before finishing the drive to the national park. The way back was pretty much straight shot for us, a quick stop for fuel along the way, so make sure you use the restrooms before you leave the park! After the tour was finished we were asked via watts app how the tour was and if we had a good day with our guide. It was all very professional and enjoyable! We were very happy with everything!

Amazing tour! - We saw Mount Kilimanjaro, so many elephants, hippos that came up to the car, and lots of other animals. The view was breathtaking, the amount of animals and birds were incredible. We had Sammy as our tour guide and the lengths he went for us to see a certain animal and to take the perfect photos. He was friendly, kind and very informative! Truly great experience.

One-Day Bullet Safari Tour to Remember - They were flexible enough to participate alone. The lunch buffet was great, not to mention the long Kilimanjaro and the safari. I'm overwhelmed to see so many flamingos in Kilimanjaro, which I've been waiting for. Also, because I am a woman, she cared about the toilet, and even though I was alone, it was a good memory for me to have a good time talking with the driver. Thank you very much.

Seamless communication - Everything was very well planned and organized. Although I contacted them with very little communication time, communication was always very smooth and they provided us with all the information quickly. Excellent customer Service and not to mention the incredible experience lived at Amboseli.

Amboseli day tour with Mike - I was lucky with the weather and had the kilimanjaro views all day from the park and also on the way in and out. Mike is incredible, he has a lot of good information to share and he is very kind, respectful but also funny! The only bad thing was the payment time, i waited 40 min because they only relied on the Mpesa system and it was down. For people who only have 1 day tour they should be more careful and also have a card. Fortunately i didn't miss anything.
