Take time to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings with views of the park and wilderness. In the late afternoon, head out for your first game drive across Amboseli National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic Kilimanjaro backdrop. Explore open plains and swamp areas fed by underground springs, where elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, lions, and cheetahs can be seen. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

The morning hours are ideal for wildlife viewing as animals are most active, especially large elephant herds moving gracefully across the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro standing tall in the background. Spend the day exploring Amboseli’s diverse ecosystems, from open savannahs and acacia woodlands to lush green swamps fed by underground springs. These habitats support a rich variety of wildlife including elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, antelopes, and a wide range of bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch at Observation Hill, one of the park’s best viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramic views of the entire ecosystem, including swamps, wildlife corridors, and distant horizons.

5.0/5Our safari experience exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, my trip with my 12 year old son was seamless, organized, and unforgettable. Steve, our guide, made the experience very interesting. His knowledge of the land, wildlife, th food, and local culture added so much to every drive and every place we stopped. He had a good instinct for tracking the animals, we saw everything on our list and more! Steve always made sure we were in the right place at the right time, without feeling rushed or crowded by other cars. And he said yes to nearly every random request we came up with! Steve’s professionalism definitely stood out - he had a warm, easygoing personality. He created an environment that felt safe and relaxed, which allowed us to really enjoy each day. Sometimes we left early for morning game drives, other days we visited local areas; we always were taking in the scenery and asking questions. He was very patient with my 12 year old son, which made the trip enjoyable for me too. The itinerary itself was balanced, it included adventure with time to unwind. I added some last minute requests and they were happy to adjust things for me. Every lodge, camp and location had something unique, and the whole trip felt really well planned. I would absolutely recommend this company—and especially this guide—to anyone considering a safari. It was not just a summer vacation, it was a memorable and meaningful experience that i got to share with my son. I know he will remember the trip forever.

The tour was great. We explained what we were interested in and they developed an itinerary that hit all the buttons. The accommodations were very nice. Don't let the word tent scare you off. The food was also very good and was made with the tourist trade in mind. We did a morning and an evening game ride each day. We saw the Big Five on the first day. Tried to keep a journal of every animal we saw but there were too many after a while. You get very close to the animals as they tend to ignore the vehicles. One elephant was a little upset when a van got too close, but he just flared his ears and snorted until the van backed off. Saw several lions lounging by the side of the road and they didn't give the van a second thought. All-in-all this was a great trip. The value for the money is excellent compared to some on-line research I did before booking the trip. Don't hesitate to reach out to Landmark Expeditions.

After my first safari with Landmark Expeditions, I knew I wanted to return—and in February 2024, I did, this time bringing a friend who had never experienced a safari before. Our guide on this trip was Francis, and he was also outstanding. He is friendly, experienced, and clearly passionate about what he does. From the very beginning, everything ran smoothly and was exceptionally well organized, which made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. We had an incredible number of wildlife sightings throughout the trip— hard to choose a single highlight. What really stood out was how consistently Francis positioned us to take advantage of the best opportunities each day. As a birder, I again appreciated the thoughtful planning of the itinerary. Francis made a real effort to ensure I was able to see and photograph a wide variety of bird species, which added so much to my experience. Once again, the safari was very reasonably priced while delivering a high-quality experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Landmark Expeditions to anyone, whether it’s your first safari or a return trip—I am looking forward to my third safari with Landmark Expeditions. I have booked a trip in July 2026 and will bring my 17-year-old grandson with me this time!

I’ve been on six safaris with Landmark Expeditions over the last 13 years, have brought both family and friends, and every trip has been unforgettable! Our guide Steve is outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and an expert at finding wildlife. From seeing and photographing the Big Five to the many adventures that make Kenya so magical, Landmark consistently delivers an exceptional, seamless experience. The accommodations are top notch, everyone is warm and welcoming, I always feel safe and well cared for! I wouldn’t go with anyone else for a Kenyan safari, I’m planning my next trip for this summer now! - Sue Swanberg, USA
