You depart in the morning and drive towards the Kenya/Tanzania border, through the border post of Namanga, en route to Amboseli National Park, arriving at your safari lodge in time for lunch. After lunch you are taken on an afternoon game drive to look for elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, cheetah and a host of plains game. Part of Amboseli Park is composed of a dried-up lake bed which, in the shimmering heat, produces fascinating mirages. The lake bed is subject to sporadic floods but permanent watering places for the game are provided by swamps and springs, fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro's melting snow. Dinner and overnight are at your lodge.
