Camping Amboseli

Type : Camping Safari Duration: 2 nights 3 days

Locations Visited: Amboseli National Park,National Park.
Description:Safari to the Amboseli National Park, camping in "walk in"
tents, and
hot showers available. The snow capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro,
Africa's highest
mountain at 5,895m, dominate every aspect of Amboseli National Park. Open
grassland
and savannah surround swamps and springs, fed by underground rivers from
Kilimanjaro's melting snow, permanent watering places for the elephant,
buffalo,
lion, leopard, cheetah and hosts of plains game. The area outside the Park
is home
to the Masai people, tall, proud, nomadic warriors who maintain their age-old
cultures and traditions and live in complete harmony with the wildlife
around them.

Day 1 Nairobi - Amboseli
Leaving Nairobi in the morning, you drive across the Athi plains towards the
Kenya/Tanzania border post of Namanga and from there through arid Masai
ranchlands
to your campsite in Amboseli National Park for a late picnic lunch. Later
in the
afternoon enjoy a game drive in the surrounding area before returning to
Camp for
hot showers and the evening spent around the camp fire.
Day 2 Amboseli
After an early breakfast you leave for a full day's game viewing with Mount
Kilimanjaro, usually clear in the early morning, as a spectacular backdrop
for your
photographs. You stop for a picnic lunch at Look Out Hill or another shady
spot and
return to the Camp in the late afternoon. The evening is spent around the
camp fire
listening to the sounds of the African night - the distant roar of the
lion and the
doleful, whooping `laugh' of the hyaena.
Day 3 Amboseli - Nairobi
After breakfast, enjoy an early morning game drive before departing on
your return
journey to Nairobi,stopping en route under a shady tree for a picnic lunch.
