Amazing safari day trip - This trip was excellent, Edward was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Amboseli is teeming with wildlife and we couldn’t believe how many different species we saw in just one day. Highly recommend this tour if you have limited time like we did, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a great time!

It's a loooooong day on safari - Amboseli National Park is a 4-hour drive per way. We were picked up at 5am and got to the park around 9am (with a pit stop in between). May is not the best time to go on safari as there was less animals and by the afternoon even less as it gets hot and they aren't as active. Our driver did his best to find wildlife and was a pro at driving back to Nairobi in that notorious Kenyan traffic! I slept on the way there but watched how passing cars and navigating the roads where "anything goes" can be tough. Mount Kilimanjaro was slightly visible due to clouds and haze but it was still cool to see. Lunch is included at the lodge on site which was great.

Good experience for a Day Trip to Amboseli NP - The experience of that 1 day trip from Nairobi to Amboseli, and back, been great. Everything is well organized and taken care of, from the on-time pick-up at the hotel, to the entry in the national park, the visits and ride across the parc to see the wild life, and the lunch. A must do ! Huge thanks to Douglas, my guide for the day, who's great at explanation and spotting animals 🙏🏼

Amazing first safari experience - Went with Douglas on this day trip, our day started around 5 AM and I got back around 7 PM so it was a full day. Amazing trip, saw lots of animals up close and personal. You may or may not get to see all the animals in the park, because, they are not uber after all, can't just call them over. Highly recommend!

Kilimanjaro with the best guide - Amboseli is magnificent. Kelvin was a great guide and driver, despite a heavy downpour all the way there and a long drive - luckily it cleared up just as we reached the park. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals,great eye at spotting them, names and providing a lot of interesting facts I didn't know, and very polite about my ignorance. Alot of animals, and the park is extremely well curated with lots of different habitats. Actually got very close to a lot of them, including lions and hippos, and Kelvin really went above and beyond to make sure I saw the lions as I had mentioned that was important to me. The lunch was also very good - a variety of curries and other dishes, a salad bar, dessert bar and even a cheese plate, all very nicely made and presented. Kelvin worked very well, being reassuring without being intrusive, and everything was on time (except Nairobi traffic but you can't help that). Kelvin arrived at my hotel just before the pickup time and built in rest stops both ways, which were needed. The vehicle was clean and well maintained, with a good clearance sunroof for observation, comfy seats with functioning seatbelts and good suspension. Oh, observation hill, was perfect for viewing this breathtaking park. Great, great views! A definite recommend.
