Amboseli is set on the Kenyan plains with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in the distance, the park is world-famous for its substantial population of African Elephants which can be seen in herds of over 100 individuals. In particular the large bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in the animal kingdom. Also to be spotted are ample herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, as well as giraffes and warthog. With all this variety you can be sure a healthy population of predators also call Amboseli home.

5.00Although there was a mistake with the pickup location, we were grateful for the quick response. Our driver, Fuetus, was polite and cheerful without being overly friendly. His experience was extremely helpful in capturing the best shots of Kilimanjaro and the elephants. For a more luxurious trip, we recommend upgrading to a 4X4 Toyota vehicle and accommodation at Oilepo Amboseli Lodge.

Long but fun day to Amboseli

5.00Our day trip to Amboseli was fun but be prepared for a long day. Our driver Mwose picked us up promptly at 5am and we made it back to the hotel around 7pm. Mwose did a great job of navigating both Nairobi traffic and some very challenging roads in the National Park. Mwose did his very best to make our trip memorable and gave us amble time to take pictures! We never felt rushed despite trying to see as much as we could in a day. He went out of his way to try and find the animals we wanted to see and because of his navigation we got to see all 3 of the big 5 that are in Amboseli. He never stopped looking for the lions and we ended our trip with finding 3 females, two big lions and one young one. It was an incredible way to end our Safari. The drive is long, but there were planned breaks along the way, one up for coffee/snacks/washroom/shopping, one lunch at a nice restaurant in the park, and one at the same stop on the way back. Everything was as advertised, with good communication from both the company and our driver. My only complaint would be that our safari vehicle was a van and lower to the ground than a regular 4x4 which probably made us feel the bumps of the difficult terrain more than a larger car. However, Mwose handled the car with expertise and was very cognizant of trying to minimize the impact of the bumpy road conditions. He was constantly checking in on us and taking breaks when needed. I would highly recommend Mwose and would hire him again for another trip.
Excellent tours and guide!

5.00I did both the day trips to Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. I was lucky to have Samuel M. as my private tour guide for both days. He is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the land and animals in the parks. He went out of his way to make sure the tours went well, with regular rest breaks and plenty of stops for photo opportunities. Lake Nakuru was quieter than usual the day we went but I still got plenty of great photos. Amboseli was great too even though Mt. Kilimanjaro was obscured by clouds.
Excellent first half of our day at Amboseli and glad we did it!

5.00What a lovely experience. So glad we did this even though it was a very long day. Our guide, Festus, was excellent for the entire first half of the day. He received a phone call that disturbed him very much and subsequent phone calls also seemed upsetting. This resulted in a rushed ending to our day and not at all like the first half. He was quite knowledgeable and friendly but we did not see as many animals as we expected for our one day. I just hope all is fine for him as he was very nice. I would highly recommend him if he had his problem resolved.
Amazing one day game, lovely elephants and others

5.00From Nairobi it was a long drive. BUT it’s worth a visit. I got a chance to see environment and lives outside Nairobi along the way too. I really enjoyed it. The park is wonderful-caught eyes to see many animals with help from Jim, our tour guide, driver, ranger - he can be everything 👍 The elephants 🐘 are so cute 🥰 Besides….i got to see lively Cheetahs and many others 🐆👍🙏

5.00This was a wonderful safari. The main attraction of Amboseli are elephants, and they come close to the car, allowing to observe them carefully. You can listen to them eating the grass, which is a special feeling. In the morning, you could see Mt Kilimanjaro, although not clearly on the day I visited. There is also much more: water buffalos, wildebeast, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, a lot of birds, and even some cheetahs! I was very happy with my guide, James. He shared a lot of interesting insights on animals and maasai community. The lodge in which the lunch took place was impressive and the food was great. After visiting Amboseli, there was an optional visit of Maasai village (25 dollars extra).

5.00Tony, my guide made me feel like a VIP all day! He is an excellent driver and a very friendly and professional guide! He went above and beyond for me to see my favorite animals, cheetahs! In the end, we got to see a group of 6 and they came very close to us! We also had great conversations all day and he taught me so much! I could feel he really wanted to make my experience great and I highly appreciate it! Besides the cheetahs, we got to see tons of elephants (literally), wild beasts, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, gazelles, impalas, hippos, baboons and so many beautiful birds! The lunch spot at the hotel was also fantastic, it was a gorgeous view with zebras in the back and I got the best table reserved for myself only! Then we went to the Maasai village which was also a beautiful and very humbling experience! I could not have asked for a better person to take and show me around! I would love to return and when I will, I will look for Tony and will also recommend him to anyone who is planing on visiting!

5.00Tony provided us with an extraordinary day to Amboseli National Park. Tony is very knowledgeable of the birds and animals in the park. We saw so much wildlife, including herds of elephants and two cheetahs on the prowl. The tour included an incredible lunch buffet, which added to the perfect day. Tony with Perfect Safaris is a great choice for a guide!
