The park’s swamps, plains, and acacia woodlands are home to a variety of other wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and hippos. Birdwatchers will also be delighted with sightings of pelicans, kingfishers, and the endangered African Fish Eagle.

Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Return to Nairobi
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive, one of the best times to spot Amboseli’s wildlife as animals are most active during the cooler hours. The soft morning light also provides stunning photo opportunities, particularly of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak.
During the drive, explore the park’s iconic swamps, where elephants, hippos, and a variety of bird species gather. Keep your eyes peeled for predators like lions and cheetahs, as well as smaller animals like warthogs and hyenas. Your guide, provided by Kenya Horizon Safaris, will share insights about the park’s ecosystems and help you spot and identify wildlife.
After the game drive, return to your lodge or camp for a hearty breakfast. Take a moment to relax and soak in the serene environment before beginning your journey back to Nairobi.
