Itinerary for Amboseli national park 1 day trip by Road

Can you go for Amboseli day trip in a single day from Nairobi airport or city hotel?

0500hrs: Your Amboseli day trip departs with an early pick up from your Nairobi hotel. Amboseli national park distance from Nairobi is 230km southwest. It’s advisable to start early from Nairobi.

0600hrs: Drive south through the Kamba and Masai people lands passing. You will pass through several highway towns of Salama, Sultan Hamud and email.

0800hrs: Arrive at Emali town and make a pit stop for a bathroom break. You can have a cup of hot coffee to warm your insides while you are here.

Drive on along the Oloitoktok highway to Kimana gate, some distance of 80km away. You can stop and watch the peak of Kilimanjaro at any point along the highway. Kilimanjaro is a shy mountain and any chance to stop and take pictures should be taken. Take pictures no matter how far one is from the Amboseli national park.

Amboseli National Park Gates

Amboseli national park gates include the Kimana gate, Irimito gate accessed from Oloitoktok road and Meshanani gate from Namanga border direction. The most popular gate where most of the Amboseli lodges are located is the Kimana gate.

Continue with your Amboseli national park game drive as you watch the animals including lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, jackals, buffalos, and many more. An Amboseli full day game drive lasts from 9.00am to 3.00pm. The game drive is a full 6 hours game viewing wildlife with Mt Kilimanjaro as the backdrop.

Mt Kilimanjaro viewing on an Amboseli 1 day game drive from Nairobi is also one of the biggest pull factors to this park. The Kilimanjaro mountain is the highest mountain in Africa standing at 5895m above sea level. The majestic views of its snow-capped peak Kibo and its huge blue foot is an awesome sight at the edge of Amboseli park plains. Make sure to take great pictures of the elephants and other animals with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background. It’s the ultimate iconic African safari photo.

A one-day Amboseli photographic safari is a great way to take wildlife pictures in one of the very famous parks in Kenya as the early explorer, Hemmingway’s described the Amboseli national park and Kilimanjaro views.

Amboseli Serena Lodge Lunch

1:00pm: Have lunch at the Amboseli Serena lodge. This is an experience of its own with a wide variety of local food choices to select from. To save time, you can also take packed lunch from one of the lodges in the morning and have it at the beautiful observation hill inside the park. This gives you panoramic views of the park and hundreds of buffalos and elephants swimming in the water below the observation hill.

2:00pm: After Lunch you will continue with an extra hour of game drive looking for the rarer animals like leopards or the next pride of lions. You may stumble upon the cheetahs or a huge herd of buffalo as they come to drink water from the pools in the middle of the park. The number of wildlife you get to see in an Amboseli national park day trip is astounding.

Amboseli National Park Bird Watching Day Tour

Be sure to look out for the expansive and usually dry lake Amboseli with its flamingos when full. This seasonal lake Amboseli hosts millions of flamingos at different time for the year as they migrate across the 5 alkaline lakes of the rift valley feeding on blue green algae in lakes Nakuru, Elementaita, Bogoria, Amboseli and Natron. Amboseli 1 day birdwatching safari tour from Nairobi also offers you a chance to see the African fish eagle, hadada ibis, great white pelican, Egyptian geese, blacksmith plover, wagtails, go-away birds, marabou storks, martial eagle among many others.

Amboseli is the closest park from Nairobi where you can see the African wild elephants in the nature, all in a single day safari. A 1 day Amboseli national park game drive tour, although long (3.5hrs each way), is very rewarding especially when the weather allows you to see the highest mountain in Africa aka the roof of Africa.

3:00pm: You will depart from Amboseli national park for Nairobi after finishing you Kilimanjaro day trip with a drive back to the city. The drive back is quiet and peaceful all the way to Nairobi. You may ask your driver to stop at designated souvenir shops to buy your loved ones some gift items to take back home. These stops also serve as bathroom breaks to also stretch and talk to some local people.

7:00pm: Your driver will drop you off at the JKIA airport after the Amboseli full day trip.

Book Your Amboseli Sightseeing Day Tour

Your Amboseli sightseeing and game drive tour ends with goodbyes from the driver and hopefully you will find time to come back for a longer safari. I would recommend a 4-7 days Masai mara game drive safari on your next visit.
