The glaciers atop the huge mountain, probably the largest single peak on earth, are still up there, and the mountain is often dusted with snow. As Peter Matthiessen wrote in The Tree Where Man Was Born, “A snow peak in the tropics draws the heart to a fine shimmering painful point of joy.”
Game drives in Amboseli are exceptionally rewarding: the park’s five distinct habitats (ranging from savannah to woodland and sulphur-springed wetlands) support what is probably Africa’s largest population of free-ranging elephants, along with the Cape buffaloes, impalas, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest who—in addition to two score or more other mammal species and 600 bird species—make their domicile in and around the park.

7:30 am Your driver/guide will pick you up for the easy road trip to the park. Hop into your private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep and we’ll begin our adventure on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway.
02
Being on safari, we’ll rise with the sun and head out for an early morning game drive. We’ll catch the first light as it breaks upon the plains and Mt. Kilimanjaro. This is a wonderful time to observe the first stirrings of wildlife.
03
This is our third and final safari day so let’s go for more wildlife viewing with an early game drive. If there are any animals we’ve missed this is a great time to track them as they enter into the new day.
