Day 3: Nairobi/Amboseli National Park
After breakfast this morning, board your flight to Amboseli National Park, where your safari begins. Spend your first afternoon in the park viewing this spectacular area, famous for its big game and superb views of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is comprised of four basic wildlife habitats: acacia woodland, fresh water swamps, scrub brush and open plains. Combine all of these elements with the backdrop of Kilimanjaro and the park is truly a photographer's paradise. After your game drive, return to camp as the sun sets behind the limitless African horizon.

Day 4: Amboseli National Park
Spend a full day on safari. As the first rays of sunlight reflect off the white snow of Mount Kilimanjaro, the animals begin to stir, making this the most exciting time for game viewing. You may come upon male giraffe fighting over a potential mate, a group of warthog running with tails raised or lionesses chasing down a morning meal. Enjoy a specially arranged visit to the renowned Amboseli Elephant Research Project, started by Dr. Cynthia Moss over 30 years ago to study elephants and their conservation. An afternoon game drive is an excellent time to look for lion and cheetah, who begin to stir from the shade and roam onto the plains in search of prey.
