I loved my 2-day tour to Amboseli with Benjamin from Gracepatt Tours. Booking was easy and they took care of everything. Benjamin was a knowledgeable guide on our journey from Nairobi to Amboseli, helping me learn more about parts of Kenya outside of the city. The drive to Amboseli took about 4.5 hours, and we even began seeing game as well as local cattle herders and amazing views of Kilimanjaro before reaching the park. We stayed at Kibo Safari Camp, which was incredibly comfortable. The tents were more like cabins with every comfort you could need, with comfortable beds and great views. We enjoyed cooling off at the pool, getting lunch, and relaxing before our afternoon game drive. The park did not disappoint! We saw just about every creature to be found in Amboseli- lions, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, hippos, gazelles, and more. And the elephants- I've never been that close or near such large herds! That was truly incredible and not something I'll forget. Benjamin also knew so much about all of the animals, and helped us learn about each creature we saw as well as the complex cultural, political, and historical forces at play in Amboseli.

It was a long drive but well worth it to see the abundance of wildlife. Amboseli is full of elephants and if it’s clear enough you can get amazing pictures of the animals with Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. We also spotted lions, buffalos, and cheetahs as well as large herds of Wildabeasts and Zebras. There is just so much wildlife here it’s hard to describe.
Even with all the wildlife, my guide Kelvin had no problem identifying every animal we saw and providing detailed and interesting information about the animals and what exactly they were doing. In particular he seemed to know a lot about elephants so if you’re really interested in elephants than Kelvin is your guy and Ambiseli is your park. He was also very attentive and really made it feel like a personal tour.
I also had the chance to briefly visit a Maasi village near the park. This was an extra $30 that went toward the tribe, but it was a really cool experience to see how the tribe actually lived.
It is a 4-5 hour drive from Nairobi so I would highly recommend staying at least one night instead of trying to cram it into a day trip with 8-10 hours driving.

Our tour was the best!! Our guide, Stephen, was prompt and on time for our pick up and was very knowledgable. We saw so many different animals during the safari...we saw 4 out of the 5 Big Five! I am a photographer and I had ample time to get my shots and just marvel at the animals. Kibo Camp was super nice and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The rooms were nice and clean and the food was pretty great. Overall had an amazing time! Would suggest booking this tour for sure.

I went on a 2-day tour to Amboseli National Park. My driver/guide Stephen was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The trip was organized well and the accommodation was amazing. We saw baby lions, tons of elephants and cheetah hunting inside the park. And the views were spectacular. Overall a great experience!
