Embark on a breathtaking 3-day Amboseli safari from Nairobi, one of Kenya’s most popular short safari adventures. Designed for travelers seeking maximum wildlife in minimal time, this tour takes you to the heart of Amboseli National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and postcard-perfect views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Whether you’re on a stopover in Nairobi, planning a weekend escape, or looking for a budget-friendly safari, this Amboseli overnight safari gives you everything—majestic wildlife, iconic landscapes, and authentic Maasai encounters.
With Wild Bud Safaris, a trusted local operator, you enjoy comfort, flexibility, and expert-guided experiences that go beyond expectations.
Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Your adventure begins early in Nairobi. After a hotel or airport pickup by your Wild Bud Safaris guide, drive south through beautiful countryside toward Amboseli National Park, located near the Tanzanian border.
The journey takes approximately 4–5 hours, offering views of traditional Maasai villages and the vast open plains of southern Kenya.
Upon arrival, check into your lodge and enjoy lunch before your first Amboseli safari game drive. The park is famous for its free-roaming elephants, big cats, zebras, and hundreds of bird species. As the day ends, witness the golden hues of the African sunset with Mount Kilimanjaro as your backdrop — a scene you’ll never forget.

Day 2: Full Day Game Drive in Amboseli National Park
Wake up to the sounds of the wild and breathtaking morning views of Kilimanjaro. After breakfast, set off on a morning game drive, the best time for spotting predators and elephants near the marshlands.
Amboseli’s landscape is diverse—rolling savannahs, acacia woodlands, and shimmering wetlands fed by underground streams from Kilimanjaro’s snowmelt. The park is also home to buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeests, hyenas, and over 400 bird species.
Return to your lodge for lunch and relaxation by the pool or terrace, watching animals gather around nearby watering holes. In the late afternoon, enjoy another exciting safari drive, followed by a visit to a traditional Maasai village (optional), where you can learn about the community’s customs, crafts, and warrior dances.
As night falls, unwind with dinner under the stars — the perfect close to a day in the African wilderness.
Overnight: Kibo Safari Camp / Amboseli Serena Lodge – Full Board
Day 3: Amboseli to Nairobi – Farewell to the Wild
After an early breakfast, take one last morning game drive through Amboseli’s open plains. Watch elephants cross the misty horizon as Kilimanjaro glows pink with sunrise.
You may spot one last pride of lions or graceful gazelles before exiting the park.
Return to Nairobi, arriving around mid-afternoon. Your guide will drop you off at your hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.
