The journey in brief
The experience
Amboseli is famous for its elephant families and its view of Kilimanjaro, which often shows best early in the morning. Two nights at Nyati Safari Camp give you a full day in the park and a sunrise drive.
The full day covers the swamps, where elephants feed and bathe, the Observation Hill viewpoint and the open plains, with a picnic lunch in the park.
