What you'll see and do
Amboseli National Park
Your journey kicks off at the crack of dawn 4:30 a.m. With our expert driver/guide whisking you away from your hotel 3.5-hour drive to Amboseli Park where elephants herds roam freely & create scenes straight out of a wildlife epic.Arrive at the gate around 8:30 a.m. Hunt for the park's elephants, catch glimpses of Mt.Kilimanjaro (if the weather gods are on your side) & encounter a Africa's finest: fierce lions, zebras, gnus, buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, & an array of bird species. By 12:30 p.m., pause for lunch at the Oltukai Lodge, Serena Hotel, or even atop the scenic Observation Hill if you've packed a picnic. Then, dive back in for an en-route game drive as you make your way out of the park by 2:30 p.m. – with added thrill of an optional stop at a traditional Maasai village, where you'll immerse yourself in authentic cultural traditions & stories that bring the African spirit to life. End your day with a scenic return to Nairobi, arriving around 6:45 p.m. (traffic permitting).

This safari was simply spectacular
The safari was simply spectacular. Evans, the tour guide (actually very professional and genuinely attentive to my priorities) first took me to an area of Amboseli Park where I could see the animals with the Kilimanjaro in the background. This was essential, since Mount Kilimanjaro usually becomes covered in clouds after about 9 am this time of the year. We saw wild dogs, hippopotamuses, elephants, monkeys, baboons, flamingos, buffalos, many species of birds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any lions. On the way back, we visited a Maasai village. This experience was epic, as we were able to witness many aspects of their daily life. 100% recommended, even though traffic is horrendous in about half of the way to the Park.
Response from the operator: Dear Giacomo, Thank you for choosing Wasili Kenya safaris for your tour, we are truly grateful for the positive feedback. We look forward to hosting you again and any of your friends that you may refer to us.

Amazing experience and Peter a great guide.
Peter picked us up from Nairobi very early and we headed over to Amboseli. We saw loads of Elephants. Got great views of Kilimanjaro and saw all sorts of wildlife. Peter was all about conservation and taught us so much about local culture which I enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble. Really would recommend.
Response from the operator: Hello Stephen, Thank you for booking with Wasili kenya safaris for your trip to Amboseli and dropping us such a great review.We are happy to know you are had a great time with Peter. We look forward to seeing you again.We wish you all the best in all your efforts.

Amboseli National park-Kilimanjaro
If there is one trip I will recommend, it will be this one! Amazing wilderness with a driver/guide of a lifetime (Evans through wasili tours). Not sure if the view of Kilimanjaro with no clouds or our knowledgeable guide was better. He made our trip perfect and I’m not overreacting. He is the man! Not just a guide and driver, also a storyteller and has some much knowledge. It was a great day of seeing Kilimanjaro and all the elephants. Many animals and many memorable memories. Thanks again Evans for making our trip remarkable!

10 out of 10!
The tour was amazing! Let me first express how amazing our tour guide Peter was. He was super nice, knowledgeable, and welcoming. It was my husband and I on the tour so it was very intimate. We stopped several times for restroom breaks and for breakfast and lunch. Water was provided which was a plus. We stopped to visit with the Masi tribe and learn about their culture and traditions. Peter was very knowledgeable about where the animals primarily are in the park. We were able to see witness female lions on a hunt. This tour was definitely bucket list!
Response from the operator: Hi Lakesha, Thank you so much for the great review.We are so grateful you experienced our services in the hands of Peter and couldn't fault any. We say thank you very much for having chosen to travel with Wasili Kenya safaris and we happily welcome you back and any of your friends whom you may refer to us, and promise our best personalized attention ever! Thanks again and wish you the best in all your endeavors.

BEST GUIDE+BEST AGENCY
I went on a safari today at Amboseli Park with this agency and my day was amazing! Following my Reservation, the organizer: Julius, contacted me on watsapp. He was very professional and showed himself available. My Guide and Driver: Evans was punctual, picked me up outside my Pension. Evans is an excellent Guide and driver, smiling and attentive he knew how to inform me throughout our journey. Amboseli Park is beautiful! I still marvel at the animals I've seen. I highly recommend this agency to go on safaris. I keep a very good memory of my day, it was amazing 😍! And I intend to go back through them when I return to Kenya ❤.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2 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 Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour?
+
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 Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour?
+
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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour 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 Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. 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.
What is included in Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour?
+
Included: Pick up/Drop off/Game drive/Transport/Services of english speaking guide/Drinking water. Not included: Entrance fees; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Adventure: Amboseli Park & Kilimanjaro views Day tour include hotel pickup?
+

+
