Big elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, with two nights at Tortilis Camp, three days from Nairobi.
Amboseli is the park to see elephants, and the way the herds move across open plains beneath Africa’s highest mountain is a view that stays with you. Kilimanjaro is clearest at dawn and dusk, so we plan the days around the light.
It is a short, easy safari with a full day in the park, and a good addition to the Mara or to a Tanzania trip.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. Kilimanjaro is often hidden by cloud in the middle of the day, so views cannot be guaranteed.
Best time for this trip Jun to Oct, Dec to Feb
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer.
