The park shelters more than 420 species of birds and has an enormous elephant population and other big game attracted to the area by underground springs fed from the melting snows of Mount Kilimanjaro. Lunch is served at the lodge, before departing for an afternoon game drive. Return to the lodge and enjoy a scrumptious dinner.

Meal plan: Lunch and dinner

Day 2: Discover Amboseli

This morning you rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Before clouds build up over the summit, you set off for a game drive. Amboseli is an excellent place to view a multitude of wildlife, including everything from wildebeest to giraffes and baboons.

A visit to a Maasai village is planned after breakfast. Midday finds you at your lodge for lunch and afternoon rest, followed by another game drive. Amboseli is home to the legendary Maasai tribesmen. Maasai warriors are a famous nomadic tribe whose legendary prowess in battle and single-handed acts of bravery in fights with the wild animals are known across the world.

This enormous reserve, actually part of the vast Serengeti plains, is famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest migration and is home to the big five - lion, elephant, rhino, cape buffalo, and leopard.
