Whether you choose to unwind at the hotel or take the city tour, you’ll be perfectly refreshed and ready to embark on your exciting safari adventure the following day.

After enjoying breakfast in Nairobi, you’ll set out on a scenic drive to Amboseli National Park, located about 4 hours away. Along the way, you’ll pass through diverse landscapes—from bustling towns and rural villages to vast open plains dotted with acacia trees and Maasai homesteads. As you approach Amboseli, the stunning silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro rises in the distance, offering breathtaking views that frame the park’s famous wildlife. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on an exciting afternoon game drive where you can spot large herds of elephants, graceful giraffes, zebras, lions, and a variety of bird species. The park’s unique setting at the foot of Africa’s highest peak makes it a photographer’s paradise. After an adventurous day, you’ll check in to your lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the African bush.

On this day, after breakfast, you will enjoy a scenic transfer from Amboseli National Park toward the Namanga border, the official crossing point between Kenya and Tanzania.

After completing immigration formalities at Namanga, you’ll continue your journey through the town of Arusha, heading toward Moshi, the base town for Mount Kilimanjaro trekkers. Upon arrival in Moshi in the afternoon, you’ll check in at your hotel and have time to rest and prepare for your Kilimanjaro hike via the Marangu Route.
