Frequently asked questions
Can you do Amboseli in one day from Nairobi?
Yes, but it is a long day: about 4 hours' drive each way with 4–5 hours in the park. If you can spare a night, the 2-day Amboseli safari gives you a sunset and sunrise drive.
Will I see Kilimanjaro from Amboseli?
Usually in the early morning and late afternoon. Clouds often cover the peak around midday, especially in the rainy months.
