3-DAY AIR SAFARI - NAIROBI TO AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
Elephant Air Safari
Starting from/returning to Nairobi area hotels, the international airport, or the location of your choice.
- Nairobi
- Amboseli National Park
- Nairobi
We’ll bring you to local Wilson Airport for the easy flight to Samburu Park. And later fly you back to Nairobi.
Which would you rather do – drive four hours to Amboseli Park to see its delightful collection of elephants, or, take a quick, scenic 40-minute flight and spend the extra time at the park?
The choice is easy and we’ll make it even easier, bringing you to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to begin your fun, all-inclusive African safari package to one of Kenya’s most popular parks.
You’ll take off with views below of the morning sun upon the fields, forests, and hills. You’ll know you’re headed straight for Amboseli by the startling appearance of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro up ahead. Africa’s tallest peak stands like a guardian over the park’s southern boundary.
Touching down at an airstrip near the park, your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will greet you and introduce you to your wildlife-viewing platform for the next three days – a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Safari Jeep.
Hop aboard and take in your surroundings – the pretty park set off by the tall spire of Kilimanjaro, the elephants, and other wildlife that inhabit one of Kenya’s most popular parks. Welcome to the start of your 3-day safari experience!
What’s Cool About Amboseli?
There’s a reason this park is sometimes called the “Land of the Giants”. You’re already familiar with the great towering mass of Kilimanjaro before you. Now get ready to meet Amboseli’s other giants, its many elephant families.
The park is so rich with these lovely pachyderms you are guaranteed to see them – not every park can make such a claim. Amboseli’s compact size means a greater density of wildlife as well. Besides its signature elephants, you’ll also be exploring for the big cats here like lion and leopard, plus rhino, buffalo, cheetah, impala, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and plenty more.
Do you enjoy birdlife? You will as you set your gaze upon some of the park’s over 600 species like kingfishers, pelicans, Egyptian geese, crakes, ducks, guinea fowl, and cuckoo.
