Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Stop At: Nairobi National Park, Langata Road, Nairobi Kenya
Your safari starts with a complimentary early morning pickup in the Nairobi area and a thermos of Kenya coffee. Our first stop is Nairobi National Park for a game drive in the world’s only wildlife capital. The most striking thing about this park is the fact that it even exists. It has an impressive number of wildlife, including lions, white and black rhinos, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, hippos, and a birder’s paradise. This Park is also the famous site of Kenya’s elephant ivory burning. What’s left behind are large mounds of ivory ash designated by the year they were burned. In the old days, poachers were executed if caught poaching. In modern times, they are sentenced to life in prison.
