Depart Nairobi at 7am after a delightful breakfast and drive south across the Athi Plains, home of the Masai and on to Amboseli. Amboseli is renowned for its large herds of free-ranging African elephants as well as huge herds of wildebeests and many other animals including giraffes, African lions, monkeys, zebras, hyenas and antelope with Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak providing a beautiful back drop. We arrive early mid-day and freshen up, followed by lunch and a short rest. You later explore the Amboseli plains in an evening game drive at 1600 hours.
You will wake for early morning game drive and this early morning is one of the best times to see Mt Kilimanjaro. An early morning light reveal the Mountain Kilimanjaro turned into dark hue of purple and its snow into an ethereal pink and the sight of the mountain high above herds of elephants crossing the Amboseli plains is a timeless African image. You head back to the lodge for breakfast and later pack your bags and return to Nairobi.
We did a 3 day Amboseli tour from Nairobi with Gracepatt. We were picked up by Martin and driven to the park, stayed 2 nights at the Serena Lodge (which was beautiful) and had 3 game drives with Martin, who provided commentary. Day 3 was our drive back to Nairobi. good experience overall.
This was an incredible experience!! I loved this entire safari - it was well planned, very professional, the lodge was incredible, and our guide Martin was awesome!!! He was so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and kind, and funny!! My friend and I did the luxury version and so we were in a car on our own and that was so worth it. Martin took his time to make sure we had the best experience, ensuring we saw all the animals we could. We even got up close and personal with quite a few!! It was awe inspiring to see Mt Kilimanjaro with the elephants in the foreground, and there's even a point where you can get out and walk up to an overlook to look out on the savannah which was amazing!! Everything was just perfect!! The lodge itself was beautiful and honestly the food was delicious (all included meals are at the lodge)!! We even got to stop at a Maasai Market that directly supports the community. I can't recommend this trip enough!!
This trip was absolutely incredible!!! Martin, our guide, was amazing and so knowledgeable, really took his time to make sure we had the best experience, kind, helpful, and funny!! My friend and I did the luxury tour and my goodness was it just that!! It was private, the lodge where we stayed was gorgeous, and it was worth it to not have to worry about strangers on our adventure. Amboseli is gorgeous and we saw so many animals - more than I thought we would!! Martin was on it, finding us all the great spots for animal viewing. It was just perfection and I can't wait to come back to do it again!! Thank you!!
Thank you for an amazing 2 day trip to Amboseli! Big thanks also to my driver, Martin who did a great job of making sure everything went smoothly and for taking great care of me. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience. Tour guide (John) had loads of knowledge about the animals and we even managed to see every animal (including 6 cheetahs!) He always got us to the best spots to get amazing pictures Would 100% recommend to anyone
We booked the tour as a couple and we had an amazing experience. Peter is very knowledgeable and we spotted multiple animals and some of the big cats too! Highlight of the trip was seeing a group of female lions planning their hunt!
Amazing from pick up to drop off. Best safari I have ever been on. I live in Nairobi, and I've been on a few. If you can get Martin as your driver your experience will be exceptional.
We traveled with Gracepatt Ecotours for two days, which were our final days after spending a week in Kenya. It was an excellent experience and a wonderful way to end our time in Kenya! Both Sam and Grace were clear and professional in their communication while planning our trip to Amboseli National Park. They confirmed our hotel bookings and made sure everything was ready for our departure. We were given several hotel options, and they were flexible with our choices. We ended up staying at Kibo Safari Camp, which was absolutely stunning, with incredible views of Mt. Kilimanjaro — highly recommended! This was truly a memorable trip that we will never forget. A special thank you to our guide and driver, Benjamin. He was very friendly, always punctual, and highly knowledgeable. Throughout our journey to Amboseli and back to Nairobi airport, he shared incredible fun facts! In Amboseli National Park, he was able to identify all the wildlife, including many bird species, which was especially good for me as I am a birding enthusiast. Benjamin was very accommodating, making stops for photos and allowing us to explore scenic spots and places of interest. We learned a lot from him about the local nature, the various towns and villages, Kenya’s history, and its rich culture. If you travel with Benjamin, he will go above and beyond to make your trip truly special. Thank you again, Grace and Sam, and another big thank you to Benjamin. We would gladly go on another adventure with them and will definitely use Gracepatt Ecotours again!
This trip is great - Benjamin was a wonderful guide, the park was beautiful, and the accommodations were comfortable. Staying out near the park for the night was a great choice because it allowed us to be out on a drive early enough to see some really active animals. I would 100% recommend, especially with Benjamin as a guide!
We booked this tour based on all the good reviews on viator! Our guide was Boni and he was sharp on time to pick us up at our Hotel. He made sure we were comfortable and was very flexible . He is very cultivated and taught us a lot about animals ! The game itself was a pure delight. We saw elephants, lions after their hunt and of course the gem Kilimanjaro. Boni made sure we saw it all and knew the top spots to find the animals ! The lodge was clean, beautiful, and all the staff so friendly. It was our first time in Kenya and we left Amboseli with a lot of wonderful memories ! Thank you and see you soon !
If you have the funds and the time, Amboseli is a fantastic national park to visit. The elephant families and Mt. Kilimanjaro were absolutely breathtaking, and I would not hesitate to visit again. Gracepatt Eco Tours was incredibly accommodating to me; they negotiated a cheaper price for me so that I was able to afford this safari, and they even let me pay in portions when my card stopped working at the local ATMs. I attended this safari as a solo traveler, and while I was apprehensive to do so, my driver Steven went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable at all times during my trip. I cannot praise this company enough; they gave me an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever. Two days is plenty of time to see the park, the accommodation is incredibly beautiful, and this safari is worth the price point. I highly, highly, highly recommend you take this trip.
I like the overall arrangement and the guide. For the schedule, I love the accommodation which just next to the national park and you can see animals walking around inside your room and hear animals roaring during night time. For the guide, I'm really satisfied with my tour guide and driver - Stephen Mutuku. He is a experienced game driver with superb eye sight that can spot wild animals from far distance. This allows us to see lots of wild animals including the big five and many more. Besides, he is knowledgeable that knows the living habits of most of these animals. I learnt a lot from him. Most importantly, he is funny and a man with kind heart. Thanks to his accompany, my one person trip is full of fun. Strongly recommend this trip!
My family wanted to experience as much of Kenya in a short time. We had booked a 7 day safari starting in Nairobi then to Massai Mara. To expand our experience we booked with Grace. Very accommodating. Steven our guide was terrific snd Grace also arranged a three day trip to Tanzania. Easy to do
Thanks to our experienced driver/guide Stephen we enjoyed ourselves a lot by seeing many animals including elephants and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Asante sana, Makoto & Namiko
This is the tour to take if you're deciding between a few. The accomodations were amazing. The guide spoke good English, was nice, and knew about the animals. Everything was smooth, and I saw all the animals in front of Mt K, even a hippo.
After we had already booked a 1 day trip and were very satisfied, it was clear for us to be back on the road with Gracepatt. Again, everything worked perfectly, Simon our driver picked us up on time, took us safely to the SentrimLodge and the park. We were happy about such a good driver, as some roads took us a lot of getting used to. Simon is an attentive guide, was able to show us many animals and told us many interesting details. So we could really enjoy our tours in the park and it was an impressive experience. Thank you Simon and Gracepatt
