The 15 Best Amboseli Safaris & Day Trips

169 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $75

Amboseli is four hours south of Nairobi and the reason to go is the elephants, photographed against Kilimanjaro when the mountain shows itself. These 15 split into long day trips and overnight runs; the day trips are a lot of driving for a short window of light.
