Great tour
I booked this experience as a private day tour to Amboseli and it was an amazing experience. I totally enjoyed everything from beginning to end. Amaboseli was wonderful, loved watching the elephants and the Mount Kilimanjaro. My guides were amazing. I had Peter and Daniel, who were my guides and everything was just amazing. It was like hanging out with my friends and I felt totally safe with them as a solo female traveller. I highly recommend this tour and I recommend Peter and Daniel.

Excellent day trip to Amboseli national Park
Great day trip to visit Amboseli park from Nairobi. Very early start as the drive is long and traffic unpredictable, so prepare to spend many hours in the jeep. Our guide Peter was amazing. He managed to show us a range of wildlife in the park and he had good knowledge of the animals. Surprisingly Amboseli is full of wild birds and we had great fun with Peter showing us all these rare and beautiful birds. Peter navigated through the traffic with ease and got us home on time and safely We had stops for breakfast and lunch - lunch was excellent local cuisine with curries, vegetables and chapatis All in all an excellent day and very different to our safari experience in the Masai Mara. We would recommend the tour and ask for Peter!

Bad experience with the tour operator
We had a bad experiencem with this tour oporator which completely ruined our experience of Amboseli national park. In the morning of the tour, a tour guide arrived to our hotel with a broken car which had an issue starting. We hardly managed to leave the hotel. Instead of changing the car, the tour guide proceeded to Amboseli part. It's 5-6 hrs drive (NOT 3-3,5, don;t be fulled !!!). As a result, 30-40 km before we reached the park, our car broke down and could not start. The tour guide sough help from the locals to push the car. We lost almost 1 hr trying to start the car. Finally, we managed to get almost to the park and the car broke down completely 500 m before the entrance. The tour guide ABANDONED and remained with the car. So, we went to buy the entry tickets with a Masaai guy who kindly agreed to drive us in the park in his own vehicle. At the entrance, we were requested to pay entry fee for 2 of us ( 180 USD which was fine and liste on booking) PLUS for the Masaai guy, his car and game drive. Total amount paid- 214 USD which was not what we expected, but the tour guide was not with us to check the price with him and the Masaai guy said nothing gerarding the price. He drove us around the park in his small pick up truck which had only ONE seat for 2 persons (my huisgand is 105 kg ! ), so I had to sit on his lap, otherwise the driver could not use the gear stick. It was terribly uncomfortable. Before going into the park, I asked the tour guide if he could agree with other tour operators to put us in their safari car which he did not do. I appreciate that we were ultomately taken into the park and did not have to drive to Amboseli again, however a small run down pick up truck with 1 seat for 2 adults - was NOT what we paid almost 600 USD for. Upon return from the park, the tour guide and the company manager (don't know his exact title) confirmed to us that we should not have paid extra 34 USD for the Masaai guy, his car and game drive as it was included in the tour price. However, they REFUSED to reimburse us the overpayment which happened due to the tour guide abandoning us in the middle of the road, and REFUSED to PARTIAL refund of the tour price which I believe we are entitled to due to improper vehicle in the park (no safario vehicle which we paid for). Picture of the truck is attached. Not to mention, that the tour guide did not give is lunch vouchers and upon arrival to the restaurant we had issues with getting free lunch. No water was provided to us by this tour operator, despite being listed on the booking. I am giving 2 star rating to the tour guide because during the drive, he provided NO information about the park or Kenya, we drove in complete silence.
Response from the operator: We apologize for the inconvenience. The reason behind all this. Vehicle has broken down and after sending deflect car from nearest location, to make sure you didn't miss your trip. We apologize for that inconvenience.

Private Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Private Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4 cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4 take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 69 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 Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4?
+
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 Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4?
+
Around 24 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour Amboseli National Park, View Mt. Kilimanjaro 4*4 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.
