Dagtocht naar Amboseli National Park vanuit Nairobi

This experience is EPIC. Although it’s a drive, it is worth every second. From watching herds of elephant families move across the plains to lions lazing about, you get to see some of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife.

This was a fantastic day trip. Fidelis was a really knowledgeable guide and an incredibly skilled driver. It is a long day with about 4-4.5hrs in each direction (including a stop) but we also got a good amount of time in the park. We also stopped on the way to take photos of Kilimanjaro which proved to be a good idea as by the time we reached Amboseli it was entirely in cloud and stayed that way. We saw plenty of elephants as well as lots of other animals. My only slight grumbles were that the safari van was quite old and I ended up scratching my arm on the roof multiple times whist taking photos, and that the timing of the lunch was quite late - around 3:30 on the way home which meant everyone was too hungry to take up the optional visit to the Masai village. An earlier lunch in one of the park lodges would have been better. Overall though it was fantastic value and a trip I would definitely take again. The total trip time was 14hrs (0500-1900)

Day safari. Was picked up from my hotel then others on the safari were picked up. Took a few hours to get to the park but it gave me time to enjoy the views and get to know my co-travelers. Our guide, Alex, was amazing. Saw tons of great wildlife as well as birds. The view of Mt Kilimanjaro with elephants in the foreground was the cherry on top.

1. It’s an almost 15-16 hr journey (5-6 hrs each way) - and the drive is quite bumpy 2. Our guide Douglas was super friendly and knowledgeable 3. We didn’t get to see Kilimanjaro, it was a cloudy day. Make sure you check this before you go 4. The car isn’t the most comfortable

Do not book through Viator... the other 5 people in my group all paid significantly less booking through other platforms. Viator charged almost 300% more.

The park itself and the guide as a person were satisfactory. However, I am rating this experience low due to misleading advertising. The tour was advertised as a 12-hour experience, but in reality, it lasted over 17 hours—starting with a pickup at 4:30 a.m. and returning to the hotel at 10:00 p.m. This extended duration was not due to traffic, as the agency is aware of the road conditions. Rather, it appeared that the guide and agency were not mindful of the timing or committed to accurate scheduling. I had prior commitments in Nairobi at 8:00 p.m., which I missed because of the extended tour. I also booked a volcano tour for the following day, which I did not attend due to exhaustion from the previous day’s activities, resulting in a financial loss of $150. When I requested that the agency or Viator partially compensate for these losses owing to the misleading information, their response was that I had enjoyed myself and that they would not issue a refund. While I enjoyed the opportunity to see the animals, I found the experience overshadowed by the misleading information and the subsequent dismissive attitude. In comparison, other agencies I have booked with for visits to Nairobi National Park and Hell's Gate have been professional, honest, and fair. Overall, this was not a positive experience.

Our guide Calvin was extremely friendly and knowledgable. He provided a lot of relevant facts and anecdotes. We were lucky to see 3 of big 4 and a clear view of the kilimandjaro

The trip was wonderful. Peter did an awesome job, he was very patient with us and the traffic. Thank you so much for a great experience

Calvin was the best!! He drove us to Amboseli National Park and we had the absolute best time. He was patient, kind, and offered tons of information about the park. I might add that he has impeccable driving skills too! I highly recommend!

Our guide Douglas was very knowledgeable about the animals in the park, and he was able to spot them when we couldn't see anything . He was very helpful and kind. Also drove very safely.
