This 3-day Amboseli luxury safari is a private road itinerary from Nairobi with two nights in Amboseli National Park, priced from US$1,104 per person full board. Covering roughly 225 to 240 km each way — about a 4 to 5 hour drive — it suits travellers wanting a short, high-quality Kenyan safari close to the capital.
Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?
The itinerary focuses on a single park, Amboseli National Park, with pickup from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or any Nairobi hotel or residence. Day 1 ends with an evening game drive, day 2 is a full-day safari across the park’s open plains, swamps and wetlands, and day 3 offers a final morning game drive before the return to Nairobi. Amboseli is famous for large elephant herds and, on clear days, the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro; lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, antelopes and abundant birdlife are also regularly seen.
Who Is This Safari For?
With only 3 days needed, this luxury package works well for weekend travellers, business visitors with a few free days, families, couples and solo travellers in Kenya. Amboseli is rewarding in every season — see this guide to the best month for a safari in Kenya — and the short transfer makes it one of the most practical two-night parks reachable from Nairobi. Departures run all year round and can be arranged for solo travellers as well as larger private groups.
What Is Included?
The price covers private transfers in a pop-up-roof Land Cruiser, a professional English-speaking guide, all park entry fees, full-board meals, drinking water and Flying Doctors emergency evacuation cover; the complete inclusions list is published on this page.
How Can This Safari Be Extended?
Travellers with more time can pair Amboseli with the Masai Mara National Reserve on the 3-day Maasai Mara safari, add Rift Valley lakes such as Lake Nakuru National Park on the 7-day lakes and plains safari, or finish on the coast with the 10-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday. Conservancy and reserve add-ons include Lewa Conservancy, Lumo Community Wildlife Conservancy, Shimba Hills National Reserve and Meru National Park.
