Provide information about Amboaeli National Park
Be sure to be at the gate of the national park by 8AM. It gives the best views of Mt Kilimanjaro. Except for lions, you can see all the animals. Eric, my tour guide, was excellent in terms of the information and knowledge about wildlife. Also, he gives a complete information about tour abd travel in Kenya. I would recommend him for everyone!!!

A day with elephants by the feet of Mount Kilimanjaro
Our driver, Peter was a very kind and humble man. He shared his knowledge about Kenyan culture, about the places and the animals we saw. We saw Mount Kilimanjaro in the morning and in late afternoon, and in between enjoyed the presence of animals.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day in Amboseli National Park and were able to experience the beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro alongside the incredible wildlife. It’s especially rewarding to know that Peter’s knowledge, kindness, and insights into Kenyan culture enhanced your experience. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for choosing Kenya Bush Expeditions, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable safari in Kenya.

His professionalism and warm personality made the experience both educational and enjoyable.

ONE DAY SAFARI? DON'T. JUST DON'T.
Starting from the positives: Peter, the experienced driver/guide who made the best he could. The lions and the hyenas we saw at Amboseli. The negative: everything else. One day trip is a scam - it was a 17 hour journey, pick up at 5am, drop off at nearly 10pm. 13 hours on the road, in a "car" - a ultra dirty Toyota, uncomfortable seats, non working seat belts, malfunctioning windows, wrecked seat, then, passenger seat (to make company to overworked driver so that he does not fall asleep on the wheel), very hot seat, windows open, inhaling dust and kilos of monoxide, stuck in a traffic jam, watching drivers drive crazily in the dark (yes, day trip means unsafe, road at night) - in a car without a rearview mirror. This was a private tour for 2 people at EUR 500, this was the car assigned the night before to the driver. I did not expect luxury yet at least a top rearview mirror, seat belts and working side-by-side seats. ah, Amboseli... no views of the Kilimanjaro, the reason for enduring the one day trip, the one thing we would not see in Masai Mara. as we learnt later (too late) from a more reliable agency - views are a maybe only very early in the morning, before the clouds. we arrived there at the entrance at 1023am*, no views and a game drive that lasted around 2.5 hours, then, at 105pm, we were already at the Oltukai for lunch. Back on the road for 6.5 hours to Nairobi. *Drivers park outside at the entrance, go somewhere do whatever that takes forever while tourists are harassed by the multiple vendors around the car. Very annoying. Here's the aftermath: one day safari? it is a NO - not realistic, a scam. Private safari? NO, not worth it, no real benefit. Bush Expeditions? NEVER again - the dirty poorly-maintained car and an overworked driver (do the math... he easily worked 19-20 hours) told us that our safety was not their priority. then, Peter, a YES - for being punctual. and and experienced driver. Lessons learnt. 2 stars for (because of) Peter - who deserves better. Zero stars for this experience with Bush Expeditions.

Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amboseli National park Day trip:Mt kilimanjaro Views start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
