“Die Fahrt war lang..aber das weiß man ja vorher... Unser Fahrer..Peter..war leider sehr lustlos...der ganze Ausflug verlief leider nicht so wie beschrieben... Das Observatorium wurde nicht von ihm angefahren...ebenso gab es keine Mittagspause im Park...bis wir uns umsehen waren wir wieder am Gate..dort baten wir den Fahrer wenigstens anzuhalten damit wir auf die Toilette könnten. Auf Anfrage hieß es dann wir gegen später essen....erst das Masai-Dorf. War ganz interessant..aber einmal reicht. Die Sachen dort werden maßlos überteuert verkauft meiner Meinung nach...aber wenn man das Dorf damit unterstützt....ok . Danach ging's weiter...und um 15.30 gab's dann endlich etwas zu essen für uns Wenn...”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 6 reviews · 12 hours · from $500

Set out from Nairobi in a pop-up-roof 4WD with an English, French, German, or Spanish-speaking guide. You get about four hours in Amboseli, elephant and lion-spotting chances, Kilimanjaro photo stops, and a 1.5-hour Maasai village visit. Alex is named as a guide. Park and village fees, lunch, and the long bumpy drive cost extra.

“This was one of the best adventures ever, the park exceeded our expectations and the tour duration was pleasantly satisfactory full hours of going to every corner of the park to see everything. The tour guide was also good and did exceptionally well in spotting lions (which is considered rare). However, it is important to note that the car used could be better and the roads to the park are mostly bumpy. It is also dusty so bring something to cover your head and nose.”

“C’était une super journée ! Le parc d’Amboseli est magnifique et gigantesque, je le recommande pour les personnes qui comme moi souhaitent voir les éléphants 🐘. Quel beau spectacle d’assister à des scènes de vie des animaux en totale liberté. Ensuite nous avons visité le village Masaï, très intéressant de découvrir leurs coutumes et leur manière de vivre. Nous avons également eu la chance de manger au restaurant d’ Amanya Camp (délicieux) et de visiter ses hébergements insolites après le repas 👍🏻 Nous avons passé un agréable moment avec nos deux guides. Merci!!!”

Il est arrivé à 6h15 … Malheureusement cette mésaventure nous a refroidi. Le parc est magnifique et nous avons pu profiter du spectacle qui s’offrait à nous, le Kilimandjaro est incroyable.
