The 3 Days Safari Amboseli National Park is a 3-day, 2-night private road safari from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya, priced from US$958 per person at mid-range level. Travelling in a 4x4 safari vehicle, it suits travellers with limited time who want large elephant herds and Mount Kilimanjaro views close to the capital.
Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?
The route runs from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park and back. Amboseli lies approximately 225 to 240 km south of Nairobi, and the drive takes about 4 to 5 hours depending on traffic, road conditions and lodge location. Day 1 covers pickup from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a Nairobi hotel or residence, the transfer south and an evening game drive on arrival. Day 2 is a full-day game drive across the park, and Day 3 ends with a final morning game drive before the return journey to Nairobi. Both nights are spent in the Amboseli area, which keeps driving short once you arrive.
Who Is This Safari For?
This mid-range itinerary is designed for weekend travellers, business visitors with a few free days, families after a short first safari, couples, solo travellers, small groups and travel agents seeking a simple, reliable Amboseli package from Nairobi. Amboseli's open plains, wetlands and swamps support lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, antelopes and many bird species alongside its famous elephants, so even a short stay offers strong wildlife photography. The safari departs year-round; the guide to the best month for a safari in Kenya helps with seasonal planning, while travellers with more time can compare the 7-day lakes and plains safari, which adds the Rift Valley lakes and the Masai Mara to the route.
What Is Included?
The price covers transfers in a pop-up-roof safari Land Cruiser, a professional English-speaking safari guide, all national park entry fees and full-board meals, along with extras such as in-vehicle Wi-Fi, drinking water and Amref Flying Doctors emergency evacuation insurance. The complete list of inclusions appears further down this page.
When Can You Travel?
The safari operates all year round and accepts group sizes from 1 to 100 travellers, so solo guests pay no forced supplement structure and larger parties can be accommodated with additional vehicles. Pickup and drop-off are flexible across Nairobi, whether you are arriving on an international flight, staying in a city hotel or joining from a residence.
