Nairobi: Amboseli one-day Tour
Description
Nairobi
After
picking you up from your hotel in Nairobi, we'll leave the city behind and head
to the south of the country towards the border of Tanzania. We catch the
African sunrise as we progress towards Amboseli where we’ll find one of the
most spectacular natural savanna environments dotted with local homesteads and
colorful Masai herdsmen grazing.
On
arrival at the Amboseli, proceed for a game-viewing drive in search of a
convoy of colossal elephants, one of the many African elephant herds that tend
to roam around the park's savannah, also
Peer through your binoculars at over four hundred varieties of birds,
from flamingoes to pelicans, as you enjoy the comfort of a customized tour van.
While
the snowy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro remains in the background we shall marvel
at the wildlife and outstanding surroundings found in this park. Although
located in Tanzania, the unmistakable silhouette of this highest point of
Africa dominates the skyline and can be seen from the national park we’ll take
a ride up to Observation Hill. This vantage point will give us an overall view
of the entire park. Check out the swamps below where the elephants gather daily
and you can also walk about the hill as it’s one of the few places in the park
you can explore on foot.
After
lunch, we'll head to other areas of Amboseli to see giraffes, leopards, lions,
Zebra, Cheetah, Warthog, Ostrich, and other wild animals that live in this
ecosystem.
To
end the day with a bang, we'll visit a Maasai village which is one of the most
famous tribes, immerse in their authentic traditional way of life and wear
their colorful garments, as well as participate in their pastoral lifestyle and
jaw-dropping high jumps
On
arrival, the village spokesperson will welcome you. You
will be given a short introduction to the village and culture and then they
will perform a welcome dance for you. you will then be taken to be shown how
they light a fire and later you will be taken to see their houses “manyatta”.
