3-Day Amboseli Fly-In Safari

6am: Your Amboseli air safari from Nairobi begins with a pick-up from your hotel, residence, or airport in Nairobi, followed by a short transfer to Wilson Airport.

7:30am: Board your scheduled flight and enjoy stunning aerial views of Kenya’s landscapes, from sprawling savannahs to rural homesteads. In just 40 minutes, you’ll land at an airstrip inside Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, your professional safari guide from Across Wilderness Expedition will welcome you and transfer you in a private open top 4 x 4 Land Cruiser jeep. Enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge or luxury tented camp, with your first sightings of wildlife along the way.

After lunch and some relaxation, head out for an afternoon game drive in this compact yet wildlife-rich park, famous for its large elephant herds and stunning scenery. Capture incredible photos of elephants roaming against the dramatic backdrop of the highest free-standing mountain the world-Mount Kilimanjaro. Return to your Oltukai lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight.

Spend a full day exploring Amboseli with unlimited game drives tailored to your preferences. Start early with a sunrise game drive, one of the best times to witness elephant families moving gracefully across the plains and predators returning from the hunt.

After breakfast, continue exploring the park’s diverse habitats — open plains, wetlands, and acacia woodlands — home to lions, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and abundant birdlife. Visit Observation Hill (known as Noomotio in the Maasai language), a popular viewpoint offering panoramic views of the park, swamps, and wildlife in the natural world. This is also one of the few areas where you can step out of your vehicle and enjoy the scenery on foot.

In the afternoon, enjoy more game drives or relax at your lodge while soaking in the serene wilderness atmosphere. As the day ends, watch for the clouds clearing over Mount Kilimanjaro, revealing one of Africa’s most iconic views — a perfect moment for photography. Return to your Oltukai lodge for dinner and your final safari evening.

Enjoy a relaxed morning with a final game drive in Amboseli National Park, giving you another opportunity to spot wildlife and revisit your favorite locations.

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip with a game drive en route, capturing last views of Amboseli’s wildlife and landscapes. Board your return flight to Nairobi, arriving at Wilson Airport, where an Across Wilderness Expedition representative will meet and transfer you to your hotel, residence, or airport.
