Wake up early for a sunrise game drive, when the animals are most active and the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro often reveals itself in clear morning skies. You’ll likely encounter elephant families trudging across the plains, hippos lounging in marshes, and perhaps even a leopard in the shadows. After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, spend the late morning at leisure — lounge by the pool, take in the views, or opt for a guided nature walk if available. In the afternoon, head out for another thrilling game drive to explore lesser-visited areas of the park, including Observation Hill for panoramic views of the plains and swamps below. Wrap up your day with a delicious dinner and optional evening storytelling or Maasai cultural experience at the lodge.

Savor your final breakfast in the wild as the sun rises over the savannah. After checking out, enjoy a short morning game drive as you exit the park, one last chance to spot Amboseli’s incredible wildlife. Begin your return journey to Nairobi, passing through the countryside with opportunities to stop for souvenirs or photos along the way. Arrive back in the capital in the late afternoon, refreshed and filled with awe from your three days immersed in the raw beauty of Kenya’s southern frontier.
